The Toronto Newcomers’ Guide (TNG) was developed by experienced immigrants who know the difficulties of adapting to life in a new land. We aim to equip you with the essential information and resources needed to explore the city and confidently embrace everything Toronto offers.
The Toronto Newcomers’ Guide is a platform that offers direct links to job opportunities available in Toronto from the Government of Canada, the Government of Ontario, and the City of Toronto.
As someone new to the area, searching for housing can be challenging. To assist you, we have compiled a list of potential housing providers sourced directly from the City of Toronto website. Additionally, we have included supplementary information from Yelp.com.
We help connect students with information about educational institutions, scholarships, and credential assessment services.
Maintaining good health is important, and it's essential to know where to seek medical assistance if needed. Ontario has a provincial healthcare system, which you may be eligible for. If you are not eligible for this system, we can provide you with other useful information based on your status.
Our interactive map can assist you in finding nearby stores and locations. However, it is recommended to be familiar with the available public transportation options to avoid any confusion during your travels. We are happy to provide you with information regarding the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), including schedules, routes, and rates. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) offers three modes of transportation: subway, streetcar, and bus.
It is important to open your bank account in Canada soon after your arrival. We can provide you with a comprehensive list of banks available in Toronto, along with links for your convenience. It is advisable to speak with an advisor to gain better insight into managing your finances and understanding the currency in Canada.
It is crucial to be aware of our rights, as knowledge empowers us. To aid in this, we are sharing a link to the official website of the Government of Canada's Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and other government websites that can provide useful information on the regulations and rules based on your status in Canada.
Toronto Public Libraries offer a vast range of resources, including books, digital materials, multimedia resources, and educational programs. With many branches conveniently located throughout various neighborhoods, their programs cater to people of all ages.
During times of crisis, Toronto Newcomers' Canada provides emergency contact information and resources to guarantee the safety and well-being of newcomers.
