Settlement

New to Nanaimo? We're here to help!

Each year, CVIMS welcomes hundreds of new immigrants from over 95 countries around the world – and almost as many as different languages!

With specialized programs, services and supports for newcomers, we help the transition to a new life in Canada a little easier.

Settlement services:

  • Information Centre for Newcomers
  • Personalized support with a Settlement Worker or a Case Manager
  • Assistance with completing applications for government services
  • Referrals to community resources and service providers
  • Support with accessing cross cultural counselling
  • Information and orientation workshops on settling in Canada

Do you need help to get settled in Nanaimo, to learn English, or to find a job? We can help!
