BC Employment and Assistance

The Web Orientation
 

If you do not find employment during your three-week work search and you still need to apply for income assistance, this orientation session tells you which documents and information you need to bring to the Stage 2 Application Interview.

This orientation also provides information on how to look for a job and other income so that you have every opportunity to find these before applying for income assistance.

You will also learn about the asset and income requirements to be eligible for assistance.

Use the "Start" "Next," and "Back" buttons to move through this orientation. You cannot skip pages or click on websites during the orientation. At the end, you will find website links and a page that lists things you need to remember and things you need to bring to your interview. You will be able to download or print that page.


 

If you think you will be applying for income assistance,
you will need proof that you have completed this Web Orientation.

To receive proof of completing this orientation, you must enter your assigned Pre-Application number below. Some things to remember:

  • Contact a ministry office 1-866-866-0800 and ask for a Pre-Application number to be assigned to you. It is important that you take note of this number.
  • Enter this Pre-Application number (numbers only) in the box below.
  • At the end of the session, print or write down the Pre-Application number, the confirmation number you will receive at the end of this orientation, and the date you completed this session.
  • The Pre-Application number you take to the Stage 2 Application Interview must match the number assigned to you.

If you will not be applying for financial help, you do not need to enter a Pre-Application number. You can go through the entire Web Orientation, but no confirmation number will be issued.
