I had a frustrating experience with VPI Working Solutions. I asked for help getting my security guard license, and they directed me to a paragon training provider they work with. They covered the cost of the basic training, but they completely failed to mention an additional $80 fee for the security test and background check. Either they don’t know about it (which would be incompetent) or they omit it on purpose.

When I asked them to help cover that extra fee, they agreed—but after two weeks of delays and excuses nothing came through. I had to pay out of pocket just to move forward.

The employees personally try to help, but the company’s handling of payments is slow, unclear, and misleading. relying on them for funding, and they have hidden costs and delays...

"we only work with citizens" this is what I heard from the associate after I reached out to the organization as I received a mail stating to call them.
if you only work with or want to help only categorized job seekers please specify that in your website, your website only says "Residents of Ontario" which can be a temporary resident, or a permanent resident or maybe a citizen.
Also stop reaching out and advertising for a service that you do not provide.

Worst new comer immigration service ever!!! Landed in October 2022 and since then was asking for job assistance and financial aid (which govt provides to each new comer Permanent Resident); however, even after keeping patience and frequent follow up granted for 100$ after 5 months. I denied to accept that, because government provides 500$ for initial settlement grant/month for 2 months and they are just giving me 100$. I don’t know whether they are doing fraud by taking immigrants’ grant or not, but surely are not helpful! Instead would recommend any other agency not this

My experience with VPI was terrific..my councilor Nadia was very good and wise about my career choices and helped guide me in the right direction to a job. She followed up on me. Since l was an older mature candidate she was instrumental in sorting out my resume from may yrs and condensing all my training and experience into a fabulous resume. I cant Thank her enough for her guidance and very supportive insight.

Since 2016 VPI has helped me immensely attain employment as well as aid me in certifications such as Smart Serve. Every agent I've ever had the pleasure of working with has always made me feel like I was their top priority, but that feeling doesn't go away either. Even after you find employment VPI makes it their mission to see that you've found a job that your comfortable in and will give you a call/email after a few months just to check in. If you're in need of a job and you're not sure where to go next, VPI will always be there to help guide you.

Working Solutions is a great community center for helping people especially new comers to find job. I was so happy to collaborate with them especially Narzo Khanam who helped me much more to find a job, she helped me to built my resume, she gave me advices for how to meet the manager and how to prepare myself for the interview. Working Solutions always opened up their hands for helping any time you need. I talked about Working Solutions to my friends too and sent them to the center in Scarborough branch, they were also happy. So thanks to Working Solutions center for always opening their hearts to us. I still going there for any questions or help, they are really so kind, I appreciate their kindness. Thank you so much Working Solutions for everything you have done to me.
Best regards

I Love VPI in Scarborough because they are hard-working people.
Renu Lal is friendly and helpful. Always updating me with the current and future events such as Job Fairs and Workshops. I would recommend people who need help looking for work to see them even if you just need help with your resume.
