Registration for New to Canada settlement services is temporarily unavailable

 

Thank you for your interest in The 519’s New to Canada settlement services.

 

We are currently unable to accept new registrations as we are at service capacity. To ensure we maintain the highest level of support for our current clients who rely on our services, registration for new clients is temporarily closed until 2025.

 

The 519 remains committed to supporting the LGBTQ+ refugee and newcomer communities and look forward to assisting you when capacity allows. We appreciate your understanding.

 

In the meantime, we encourage you to explore the resources provided on our website, and in the New to Canada booklet.
