I am new to Canada.

Orientation services for newcomers support Permanent Residents or Convention Refugees by providing help and information regarding immigration, government forms and services, community and social services, education, housing, employment, and connecting with others in the community.

For newcomers experiencing language barriers, cultural isolation and unfamiliar surroundings accessing important community services can be a challenge. Our team helps Government Assisted Refugees access resources they may need for their health and wellbeing.

Our program provides newcomers with a safe space as they integrate into the Canadian community. We bring newcomers and long-time Canadian residents together to encourage intercultural awareness, volunteerism, and social and civic engagement.

Our program is funded by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada. We offer services to Government Assisted Refugees (GARs), for up to six weeks upon their arrival in London, Ontario.
