More and more people are immigrating to Canada. If you are also a new immigrant, you will definitely know that it will be a little difficult to start your life again.
From finding work and adapting to the weather, to learning new languages and making new friends, you may need to figure out every aspect of your life, which is not easy for anyone.
In order to help new immigrants, the Canadian government and some private organizations have been providing many free benefits for new immigrants who have moved to Canada.
So, if you just landed, don’t panic. The following 6 free benefits can help you settle down as soon as possible:
Settlement service
If you arrive in Canada as a permanent resident, the government will provide a large number of useful settlement services.
The organization that provides settlement services sometimes has multiple roles, guiding new immigrants from finding suitable accommodation to finding activities in nearby communities.
To figure this out, you just need to open the government website below to find the organizations that provide new immigration services nearby:

Some organizations are very specific, such as women only or teenagers only, so choose the organization that best meets your needs.
employment service
For many new Canadian immigrants, one of the most important things is to find a job. More specifically, finding jobs that are suitable for the field or industry.
Fortunately, as long as you are a new immigrant and are qualified to work in Canada, there are many institutions that can help you find a job.
Acces Employment is a good employment institution. You can register on its official website and get a guide to attend interviews and resume workshops. It also connects with organizations that are hiring and offers job fairs.
In addition, you can also search for similar institutions based on where you live.
If you are not ready to work, then the federal government’s Federal Internship for Newcomers can help you gain temporary experience and training.
You can also try Career Edge (https://www.careeredge.ca/), which connects new immigrants and employers for paid internships, so you can earn some income while gaining valuable Canadian work experience.
Language course
Living in Canada, it is very important to speak fluent English and/or French, especially if you are planning to find a job.
If you want to comprehensively improve your existing language skills, then you can take many free courses.
Linguage Instruction for Newcomers to Canada is a great resource for those who need language help.
You can get a formal language assessment through the institution and then register for the course. These courses are flexible and can be full-time or part-time. In certain locations, child care services are also provided to facilitate parents' participation.
Bank with new immigration projects
Many new immigrants will definitely be surprised by one thing when opening a bank account: ordinary accounts used daily are actually charged!
This fee is usually not very high. If your account has more than a certain deposit, it can be waived.
However, the five largest Canadian banks, RBC, TD, BMO, CIBC and Scotiabank, will provide some form of new immigration promotions, such as exempting account fees within half a year or one year.
In addition, new immigrants also need to start establishing credit scores, and bank activities will help you open your first credit card.
store discount
It should be clear that store discounts are not directly targeted at new immigrants, but at new users.
There are many brands in Canada that will provide discounts to newcomers, such as Uber and Hello Fresh will provide discounts to new users, and brands such as Adidas and H&M will have discounts for first-time registered members.
If you want to fully experience life in Canada, then it is definitely a very interesting thing to find newcomers discounts from various brands.
free tourist attractions
New immigrants come to a new country and explore the history, culture and art of this country, which is definitely a must.
To help new immigrants explore Canada in depth, Canoo allows those new immigrants to visit more than 1,400 destinations across the country for free.
The app is launched by The Institute for Canadian Citizenship.
Free projects include national parks, historical sites, science centers, museums and art galleries. In addition, some performances and exhibitions will have discount ticket discounts, and there will also be discounted flights on Air Canada flights.
According to the app, any Canadian who has been active in citizenship in the past 12 months, or any permanent resident in the first 5 years of obtaining permanent resident status, can enjoy their benefits.
