More information
Registered charity offering employment counselling, job-search workshops, employer connections and sector-specific bridging support for internationally trained professionals. Ask which programme fits your immigration status, work eligibility and experience; admission is not automatic and no job is guaranteed.

City overview links settlement workers in libraries and schools and a map of local agencies. Contact the actual provider about language, service eligibility and current appointments. A conflicting older kiosk contact panel still gives City Hall hours, while the City’s separately updated refugee-programme page says kiosk appointments are virtual; no walk-in availability is assumed. Toronto Reference Library also has current renovation-related relocation notices. Use the directory as a starting point and confirm the specific destination.

Official finder for eligible settlement and language services outside Quebec, searchable by city/postcode, language, delivery format and support type. Since April 1, 2026, economic-class permanent residents generally have a six-year service-access limit, changing to five years from April 1, 2027 under the published transition rules. Other eligible categories differ and citizenship ends eligibility for these federal services. Providers can offer additional provincially funded programmes. Ask the chosen provider to assess eligibility; no full address or personal profile was entered.

Ontario nonprofit information portal covering first days, housing, employment, health, education, legal help and daily life. Articles and service links can help prepare questions and identify the responsible agency. Check each article’s date and linked official source, especially where benefit, immigration or health rules change. The site is distinct from a government decision-maker and does not issue permits or approve benefits. Events and local providers have individual locations, admission conditions and registration arrangements.

Community-service directory for finding local social supports by topic, location or organisation. The advanced search distinguishes services located near a community from those serving it remotely, which helps avoid mistaking a regional administrative address for a local walk-in office. Listings have individual update dates and eligibility; confirm directly before travel. A directory result does not reserve a bed, appointment or funded place. The public search information was read without submitting personal circumstances.

Funded online French learning for eligible adults 18+ outside Quebec with permanent-resident or accepted Convention-refugee status, an accredited NCLC assessment at least level 2 and no simultaneous LINC course under the stated programme rules.

Free CBC/Radio-Canada digital learning using authentic Canadian audio and video with comprehension activities and everyday language challenges. Available to users in Canada because media rights restrict access abroad. The platform mainly targets adult learners and supports self-paced listening practice; progress badges are not a recognised immigration-language result or an academic qualification. A mobile app and web version are offered, but no account, download or learner profile was created during this review.

Free French-language self-assessment information based on Canadian language benchmarks, useful for planning study and discussing learning needs. The provider explains that results cannot be passed or failed and are not a substitute for the accredited assessment required by a funded programme or an immigration authority. Timed modules and a learner account have their own requirements. Review the public FAQ before deciding whether to use the tool; no account, test answer or personal learner information was submitted.
