PRSN Workshop: Government Support for Newcomers

The Private Refugee Sponsor Network - Ontario (PRSN) invites you to the upcoming workshop: Government Support for Newcomers

About the event

Do you need to better understand what supports are available from federal and provincial governments and those delivered through municipal governments to the newcomers you sponsor?

Join us to learn more about interim federal health, tax credits, dental, and other supports, as well as when to plan for social assistance, if necessary, how to access it, and how it is delivered.

Learn how to access services and build relationships with federally funded settlement organizations. Bring all your questions to ensure you have as much information as possible to help you work toward best practice.

Don’t forget you can join optional breakout groups after the event to talk about what we have learned.
