Start In the $12 Billion/Year Marine Industry
The marine industry is looking for enthusiastic mariners to join or advance in its ranks. With over 373,000 jobs in the Canadian Marine industry, you couldn’t ask for a better opportunity with excellent career possibilities.
As mariners retire and projects like LNG Kitimat come online, demand for qualified, experienced people is increasing, creating shortages for mariners to fill these roles.

Accelerate Your Career. Study at the Largest Private Marine Institute in Canada
Western Maritime Institute has two campuses in BC (Surrey & Ladysmith) and is the largest private marine institute in Canada. You will be able to launch your career in the marine industry faster than other public institutions. WMI’s courses are designed to ensure students minimize their time in class and maximize their time at sea.
In as little as three months, you could be at sea working as part of a ship’s crew instead of sitting in a classroom. This means you are earning more money, sooner, getting your required hours at sea sooner, and working towards the career you dream of sooner.
