The help to immigrants in canada, comes
from three great sectors:
The federal government or province programs
(these last limited in their action rank to
a specific province), the private
institutions and organizations that are not
related to the government, and the
associations of the many immigrant
communities, who established previously.
Here, we will focus mainly in the help that
comes from the canadian government.

before, it
must be said that many immigrants usually
perform some voluntary work activities, in
which they talk about their own experiences
and work for entities, which support the
attention center for immigrants, and provide
shelter and assistance in translations.
The canadian government has several
institutions with which it provides support
to the immigrants that have just arrived or
“newcomers”., and this is because of the
existent policy in canada, reflected in the
declarations of the canadian minister of
Citizenship and Immigration, Diana Finley:
“its success is good (…) for canada as a
whole”.

These are some of the
specialized canadian institutes in
immigration matters:
- Immigrant Integration Services, employ
local agencies, and are specialized in
advice for obtaining jobs.
- The Human Resources and Development of
capacities (HRDC) of canada, is the official
entity at a national level, which manages
the aspects regarding employment. Provides
all the assessment and information required
to start looking for a job.
- There are also some governmental resources,
such as workshops and courses, which are
specifically orientated to immigrants; some
are even given in the immigrant’s native
language.
There are programs developed to make the
process of adaptation easier to the
immigrant, and making its stay in canada,
comfortable. These are:
- Immigrant Settlement and adaptation
Program, which offers orientation and
services to the immigrant.
- Language Instruction for Newcomers to
canada, which provides basic training in
languages (destined for adults).
- Host Program, they link the immigrants
with voluntaries, so they guide them in the
access to services, establishing contacts in
their work field and in integrating the
community.
Regarding the professional immigrants, there
are several mechanisms to access the help
provided by the canadian authorities:
- Foreign Credentials Referral Office (FCRO),
this organism was created to provide
information and reference services to help
people that were trained in other countries
to use their abilities, in a legal way in
the canadian territory. One of the
attributions is to speed up the processes of
obtaining recognition and credentials of the
training that was received by the immigrants.
- Centre Skills Development & Training,
which among other activities, offers access
to language courses, community service, and
assistance in the search for a job.
Summing up, the help is great, but you have
to be aware that the canadian government, or
any other organisms that is working in
canada, will ensure you that you will get a
job. Only the skills that you have developed
before arriving in canada are the ones that
will open up doors for you in the work
market and in the canadian society as a
whole.
