Newcomer Settlement

Newcomer Settlement


Newly arrived immigrants receive one-to-one information, orientation, referrals, supportive counselling and advocacy in a variety of languages.



Newcomer Services

Immigrant and refugee women and their families experience many short and long term barriers to integration. Our services range from assistance with basic survival and orientation, such as securing social assistance, to helping long time immigrants who continue to experience barriers.
