Newcomer Settlement Program
Immigration involves a lot of administrative tasks that will likely be unfamiliar for you as a newcomer. Our Newcomer Settlement Program (NSP) team can help you with a range of these responsibilities, from filling out forms to resolving issues with your immigration status and everything in between. If you’re looking for some general help dealing with day-to-day life as a new immigrant and you’re not sure where to turn, we’re here to support you.
One of the events we run as part of this program is Orientation to Ontario (O2O). This course, offered over two or three days, guides you through the settlement process, making sure you can access local resources and services which may benefit you. You’ll learn about many relevant topics and have the opportunity to ask questions throughout.
