Our programs for newcomers provide them with a soft landing into Canada, ensuring that they acquire the resources they need to navigate their way around into the system. Our organization provides immediate relief services to newcomer refugees by providing services that ease the stress of the initial arrival by addressing the refugees’ most urgent needs.
For instance, many newcomers face financial difficulties when they arrive due to job insecurity or a lack of credit history. Finch Ave Community Center provides essential financial assistance that prevents homelessness or excessive housing cost burdens.
We also facilitate appointments for Legal clinics for asylum seekers’ claims and family reunification and help applicants apply for work permits. We ensure that refugee children and adults venture into schools and are integrated into the system.
