Moving to a new country can bring many opportunities, but also many challenges. Once in Canada, you may need help to find a job, make new friends, or learn English.
What are Settlement Services?
Settlement services are programs and services that can help newcomers to Canada. Settlement services may be able to help you:
- look for a job
- make new friends
- register for language classes
- assist you in accessing government/community services
- understand the local culture and customs
- understand your rights in Canada
Settlement services are free for newcomers to access. The services you receive are confidential.
