Newcomer Support

Help finding your way in a new home.

Forms, referrals and friendly guides who speak your language.

What it is

Newcomer Support

Arriving in Canada means a mountain of new systems: health cards, schools, housing searches, benefits. Our volunteers help families with forms and connect them to the right services.

We also run Arab 48 – Welcome to Canada, a dedicated space for Arab citizens of Israel. Visit the Arab 48 page.

Why it matters

Newcomer families often lose weeks, or miss benefits, simply because the paperwork is unfamiliar or in a new language. A friendly guide can save time, stress and money.

We refer families to trusted services such as 211 Ontario, and we never replace legal or medical professionals.
