Hey {{ first name | there }}!
By now, you know our monthly newsletter is packed with resources for your newcomer journey. This June, we’re sharing a mix of stories — from employment advice by Manitoba Start to ways you can build community as a new immigrant. We also spotlight residents sharing their experiences in Brantford, Ontario, and recognize National Indigenous History Month, helping you learn about First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. June is also Pride Month in Canada. Happy Pride! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Manitoba Start connects newcomers with employers and career opportunities
We interviewed Petro Panin, a job developer at Manitoba Start, to learn how the organization helps newcomers navigate the job market and connect with opportunities across the province. He discusses job search support, employment programs, and practical advice he shares with newcomer clients.
New to Canada? Build friendships and find community in your new home
Alongside finding a job and building a life for yourself and your family, making friends is an important part of settling into Canada. Having people you can rely on, whether for advice, support, or simply a sense of belonging, can make navigating a new city feel far less overwhelming. We’ve put together some advice for you.
Brantford’s residents share their experiences
Hear firsthand stories from newcomers to Canada as they share what they love about living in Brantford: from its scenic trails and the beautiful Grand River to its growing job market and business opportunities. Some of these newcomers now work in the settlement sector, helping others integrate into Canadian society.
Learn about the Indigenous Peoples as part of your newcomer journey in Canada
To celebrate Indigenous or Aboriginal Peoples and to honour their deep history, rich culture, and unique traditions, the month of June is observed as the National Indigenous History Month in Canada. Our country recognizes three groups of Indigenous Peoples: First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. Learn more.
