What settlement agencies can provide
Government-funded service providers may offer language training, employment preparation, community orientation, referrals and other newcomer support.
Who is eligible
Eligibility depends on immigration status and current IRCC rules. Some temporary residents may qualify under specific programs, while other newcomers may need to use community services outside the federally funded settlement program.
Immigration versus settlement support
Settlement organizations and immigration representatives perform different roles. Questions involving immigration status, applications or representation should be addressed through the appropriate immigration service.
Finding local help
IRCC provides a searchable directory of funded organizations so newcomers can identify services available in their city or province.
Official government resources
Use these official sources for the current program rules, forms and government instructions.
