Settlement Services
In Canada, settlement agencies have services for newcomers. Agencies offer services that are often free and always confidential, meaning that your information is not told to anyone else. These services may include:
- Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) and Cours en langue pour immigrants au Canada (CLIC)
- Interpretation and translation of documents
- Help filling out forms
- Help in finding a job or getting employment training
- Information on other community services, schools and health care
The WE Value Settlement Assessment provides Permanent Residents and Convention Refugees in Windsor and Essex County with the connections to opportunities, supports and services based on their strengths, skills and needs.
