Newcomer Settlement Services
Get Settled in Lethbridge
Our Newcomer Settlement Services program is to assist newcomers with daily life and adjusting to living in Lethbridge. We provide individual and group services in over 40 languages.
Our friendly and experienced settlement practitioners can help with:
Orientation and Information: Sessions on Canadian life and culture, Canadian law, transportation, finances, education and the school system, housing, and health care services.
Referrals: Links to other LFS services, community resources, and services such as banks, health, cultural, recreational; language learning, and legal supports.
Documentation: Assistance filling out most government forms and benefits.
Interpretation: Help with interpreting and translating information and documents
Community: Connect with community and volunteer opportunities.
Who is Eligible?
Services are available to Permanent Residents of Canada, landed immigrants, convention refugees, Minister’s Permit holders, or refugee claimants approved by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
While this service is mainly for newcomers, other eligible immigrants who need help in adapting to Canadian society and integrating into the community may also qualify, regardless of how long they have been in Canada.
