Psychometrics Canada: Psychometrics Canada is the leader in assessment process for careers in Canada. We have a business weblink with this organization to help facilitate the process of member employment placement into jobs if they are asked to take an assessment by a particular BC Employer. For newcomers, many will be asked by a Canadian employer to do an assessment before they are hired. We help facilitate this process for both the newcomer and the employer who intends to hire them. Please be relaxed about this process as it is not meant to be intimidating for you. The process of assessment is a way for the Employer to get to know you better as a person, so that they can assign work to you that matches your abilities. If you are a member of IBBC, you will not need to pay for this assessment. IBBC is able to conduct assessment for the following Canadian tests:
