NEWCOMER SETTLEMENT CENTER
Guiding people for a brighter tomorrow
Welcome to the BARANGAY CANADA NEWCOMERS SETTLEMENT CENTER. Our free services give immigrants all the help and support they need to begin their new lives in Canada. We are now providing online and in-person services.
​
The Barangay Canada Newcomer Centre is a gateway to many resources that will help you settle into your new community. We believe that when everyone has access to meaningful opportunities, the whole community wins. And a strong local economy is essential for building a healthy community.
Are you new to Canada? You’re at the right place!
Our Immigrant Services Team can help you connect with a wide range of services you and your family need as newcomers to Canada—including health care, education, and language help as our Barangay Canada staff can speak multiple languages as well. Get in touch with us to find answers to your questions, discover programs for immigrant youth, and learn how to navigate unfamiliar processes.
BARANGAY CANADA NEWCOMER CENTER is the first stop for all newcomers in Canada.
We are located at 3459 Sheppard Ave E #202 Scarborough, ON M1T 3K5, CA. We have a friendly multilingual staff to provide you with up-to-date information and refer you to various programs throughout Canada.
You as an immigrant, will receive an orientation to our services and workshops on topics related to your settlement needs.
