What every newcomer should know before renting in Canada
Finding your first home in Canada can be overwhelming, especially if you don’t know where to start. Head over to our website to read a comprehensive article on finding accommodation, which dives into short-term vs. long-term housing options, leasing through trusted platforms, learning what documents you’ll need, as well as how to spot common rental scams. Whether you're arriving solo or with family or landed recently and ready to go apartment-viewing, this is your essential starting point for safe, secure housing.

How one newcomer planted the seeds of change in Winnipeg
 | In 2005, Raymond Ngarboui arrived in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with a passion for helping others. Today, his Rainbow Community Garden supports nearly 400 families with fresh food, cultural connection, and a sense of belonging. From grassroots gardening to large-scale food distribution, Raymond’s work is reshaping food access in the city. |
And now, back to Canada Day: A time to celebrate and reflect!
Canada Day, on July 1, marks the country’s founding in 1867. For those arriving soon, it’s an opportunity to learn about your new home. For newcomers, it’s a chance to join local celebrations, enjoy fireworks, and connect with your community. It’s also a meaningful time to learn about Indigenous Peoples and reflect on the country’s history. Wherever you are, we hope you find a moment to celebrate—and feel a sense of belonging. Happy Canada Day!
