Is the Alberni Valley Employment Centre the same thing as Service Canada (the EI office)?
No. We are a separate agency contracted by the government to provide Employment Assistance Services. We cannot help with enquiries about EI claims, Social Insurance Number applications, passports, citizenship applications, GST credits, and so forth. These enquiries must be directed to a Service Canada office (located at 4877 Argyle Street in Port Alberni; click here for other locations).
