Message from the Chair

The human experience is defined by connection. To be connected is to have bonds, links, and relationships with the people, environments, and many things that bring meaning to our lives. These can be close in proximity, but they can also span communities, countries, culture, and even time.

Message from the CEO

We have strengthened connections through digital literacy training and supports, and we blended service delivery and educational resources – such as accessible vaccine information – that enables immigrants to develop confidence and skills to engage and integrate more fully in our community.

Get Settled

Through advocacy, partnership, and empowerment, our settlement teams help immigrant and refugee arrivals with their immediate and most pressing settlement needs, in addition to offering trauma-informed, sensitive care to improve wellness and deepen the connections between mothers, children, families, individuals, and their communities.

Learn English

For all immigrants, a meaningful connection to their new country, friends, workplaces, and communities is predicated on the ability to express themselves freely and accurately, and our language services offer support at all levels and in many specialized areas – from literacy to English for everyday living, work, and business – to ensure they can.

Find Employment

Finding gainful employment provides a gateway to countless opportunities and experiences, while also offering a strong foundation of safety and security from which individuals and families can grow, branch, and explore.

Do Business

Anyone who owns their own business or is thinking of starting one knows that entrepreneurship comes with risks. Entrepreneurs must constantly overcome a fear of failure, get comfortable with unknowns and what-ifs, and sacrifice their time, resources, and energy.

Connect with Community

Communities are foundational to belonging. Not only are they important sources of social connection, but they also make us feel safe and supported, and they give us a strong sense of purpose – connecting us to causes and networks greater than ourselves. For immigrants who are starting new lives here, community integration is essential to their settlement and well-being.

Diversify Your Workforce

We know that diverse perspectives and experiences are significant assets to our economy. When we welcome immigrants into our workforces, we actively make space for innovation, creativity, and unique contributions that promote business growth and success, in addition to enriching and strengthening the social and cultural fabric of Nova Scotia.
