We are a registered non-profit society dedicated to helping newcomers – individuals and families to integrate into the community.
We believe in empowering individuals to become contributing members of Canada by providing orientation, training and other programs that will help them enter the workforce.
We especially assist those who are disadvantaged because of language barriers, income, or circumstances beyond their control.
We work in partnership with other community organizations in British Columbia to meet the needs of newcomers and all immigrants.
