Are you a temporary resident in Canada? You might be surprised to learn that you can access some helpful settlement services—even as a visitor, student, or worker!

So, what are settlement services? They’re free resources designed to help newcomers adjust to life in Canada. Whether you need language training, help finding a job, or just want to connect with your community, these services can provide the support you need.

While most services are aimed at permanent residents, some temporary residents can also benefit. It's important to note that eligibility varies by provider, so it’s best to check with them directly.

For students, municipal or provincial support is often available, especially through your educational institution. Workers have access to specific services based on their work permit and situation. And if you’re transitioning to permanent residency, the Canadian government wants to make your move smoother with specially tailored services.

Even those in unique situations—like Ukrainians under the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel—can find support through various settlement services.
