Orientation Sessions for New Immigrants

This program is developed for newcomers to help them adapt to Canadian society and become Canadian citizens. By providing a set of information sessions we help new immigrants reduce physiological shock during the first months in Canada which are full of changes and unknown situations.

Project benefits:

• Increase awareness of the health benefits of physical activity to new immigrants and refugees in Toronto / GTA.
• Provide information and adaptation services during the most stressful first month of settlement in Canada by uniting newcomers together to allow them to organize their mini-communities and avoid unnecessary stress.
• Assist in overcoming barriers for newcomers by empowering them with job search strategies designed to make potential employers take notice of immigrants’ key strengths and achievements.
