Workshops
We carefully plan workshops with the needs of new immigrants in mind.
Some of our most popular workshops include topics like family sponsorship, buying a first home and filing income taxes, to name just a few!
For those who haven't attended one of our information sessions before, this is a GREAT opportunity to learn from experts in their fields, get first hand information and meet other newcomers. Please check Upcoming Workshops for our next workshop.
Workshops are usually held once or twice a month on a Thursday evening from 5:00pm - 6:30pm. We provide childcare and light refreshments. Please call Dayami at 519-836-2222 ext. 225 or email for more information.
