If you are an economic or family class immigrant, look to us for information and pre-arrival support. We help you plan for your move, settlement and employment in Canada.

A Place You Can Call Home

Canada is a vast, diverse, welcoming and safe country with a high standard of living. It’s not surprising that immigrants will account for 30% of Canada’s population by 2036. But even if you think you are prepared, you may face many challenges and unknowns when settling in a new country. A well-balanced overview from a reliable source can improve your chances of success in Canada and prevent disappointments. We give you up-to-date and accurate information to help you thrive.

What You Should Expect

STEP 1

Get Oriented

You will attend a group orientation (GO) session to get information on all key aspects of living and working in Canada.

STEP 2

Get Support

You will take part in a personalized planning session (PPS) to build an action plan with help from a trained facilitator.

STEP 3

Get Connected

You will form connections with local organizations and receive support based on your priorities, occupation and destination.

A Door to Employment

Foreign credential recognitions, lack of Canadian work experience, among other factors, can make it hard for immigrants to get quality employment.

A Canadian education can help get you back into your field faster after arrival, upgrade your existing skills, or even develop a new career. Post-secondary education institutions—colleges, universities, institutes, polytechnics and cégeps—in Canada offer many high-quality training options to support your labour market integration.
