Your September 2025 guide to finding success in Canada

Resources to navigate life and work as an immigrant

Hey there!

September often feels like a reset — a chance to reflect and take the next step toward your goals in Canada. Whether you're newly arrived or have been here a while, it’s a great time to refocus on your settlement, career, or community journey. This month, we’re sharing helpful stories and resources. You’ll find tips on how to launch a career in the skilled trades, support for youth adjusting to life in a new country (especially with back-to-school season in full swing), a free event in Winnipeg for aspiring immigrant entrepreneurs, and a look at how S.U.C.C.E.S.S. is helping newcomers thrive. As always, we’d love to hear what resonates with you at [email protected]

Starting a skilled trades career in Canada as a newcomer

Whether you're bringing experience from abroad or just getting started, there are clear paths into the trades in Canada — from assessments to apprenticeships and certifications. Learn how to take your first steps.

Youth can do it: Support for newcomer teens

Moving to Canada as a teen can be a big change. The Next Stop Canada Youth Program helps youth (12–19) adjust, connect, and prepare — even before arriving. Hear from youth mentors and program staff.
