What are Settlement Services?

Settlement services are the ways that we help you find answers to your questions and adjust to your new life in Canada.  

We understand that moving somewhere new is hard.  No matter how much you prepare, you will have many questions when you arrive, such as:

• How do I get a Health Card?
• How do I get a driver’s license?
• How do I set up a bank account?
• Where should my children go to school?
• Where can I find food from my country?
• How can I learn English?
• How do I find a place to live?
• How can I apply for college or university?
• Who can I talk to about my worries and fears?

Even if you have lived here for many years, you may find you have new and different questions:

• How do I apply for Canadian Citizenship?
• Can my family join me in Canada?
• How can I get my pension in Canada?

The New Canadians Centre is here to help you answer these and other questions.
