Guidance for immigrants and integration

There is a law in Finland on the integration of immigrants. Its aim is to ensure that immigrants can participate in Finnish society and its activities in the same way as anyone else living in the country.

Immigrant advisors in employment offices and in local authorities support immigrants and their families in obtaining the necessary information and acquiring the skills to cope in society and at work. A profession or qualification gained elsewhere can be made to meet the requirements of Finnish employment regulations through further training or by recognising existing qualifications.
