I would like to introduce a useful free app for those who have recently settled in Canada. It is created by the non-profit organization PeaceGeeks in collaboration with immigrant, refugee, and settlement support agencies. 'Welcome to Canada' It is an app.
- Essential settlement information all in one place: We provide reliable information necessary for settlement, including jobs, education, housing, healthcare, bank accounts, and support services for new immigrants.
- City Comparison Tool: You can compare employment opportunities, cost of living, climate, and public transportation in various Canadian cities side by side to help you choose a city to move to.
- Find nearby services: You can easily find nearby settlement support agencies and service providers on the map.
- Personalized Recommendation: If you answer a simple survey, it recommends topics suitable for your situation.
This app is free and is designed for new immigrants, including permanent residents, refugees, international students, and temporary foreign workers. However, supported languages vary by province (English and French in Ontario), so please check before installing.
For reference, there is a free service that translates signs and documents in real-time simply by pointing a camera at them. Google TranslateIf you also install it, you can significantly lower the language barrier during the initial settlement period.
