About the amount
Services rather than money: language training, employment support, information and referrals. Eligibility depends on your immigration status - permanent residents and protected persons generally qualify, while citizens and most temporary residents do not.
What to know
IRCC funds organisations across Canada to help newcomers settle: language assessment and classes, help finding work that matches your existing skills and education, and help navigating everything from schools to health cards. Free to eligible newcomers. Quebec runs its own settlement system, so the federal service finder excludes Quebec providers.
