Newcomers to Canada may qualify for government-funded settlement services
Newcomers arriving in Canada may be eligible for various government-funded settlement services designed to assist them in adjusting to their new lives.
These services aim to support immigrants with essential tasks such as finding housing, enhancing language skills, securing employment, and building social connections.
Recent studies indicate that newcomers who utilize these settlement services experience significant benefits, yet nearly one-third of immigrants remain unaware of their availability.
Settlement services are available to a range of individuals, including permanent residents, protected persons, and some temporary residents.
Funded primarily by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), these programs help newcomers navigate daily life, learn English or French, and connect with their communities.
To find settlement services in their area, newcomers can utilize an online tool provided by IRCC, which allows users to search for programs by postal code.
