Reimbursement

  • The Employer must submit a reimbursement claim no more than 30 days after the start of a training program. If there is more than one training program in the application, and these programs have different start dates, a reimbursement claim can be submitted no more than 30 days following the start of training for each program. The Reimbursement Claim Forms will be provided by the Ministry when you receive your agreement. These are also available online at https://www.workbc.ca/Employer-Resources/Canada-BC-Job-Grant/How-to-claim-for-reimbursement.aspx
