Starting life in a new country can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. That’s where settlement agencies come in!
These organizations, often supported by government funding, offer free or low-cost services to help newcomers like you:
Navigate job searches
Access housing resources
Understand the healthcare and education systems
Evaluate foreign credentials
Learn about career licensing and bridging programs
Connect with others in your community
As Ruth Demeke, a newcomer turned community leader, shares: “Settlement agencies were vital to my success.” She now delivers info sessions at the same places that helped her family 30 years ago!
Whether you’re new to Alberta or arriving from halfway across the world, these agencies are your lifeline to smoother integration, better opportunities, and a real sense of belonging.
At PROSDOMA, we’re proud to be part of this network of support—linking newcomers to everything from job search help to food banks, basic computer training, and immigration aid. And we do more than that! We also promote climate action and sustainable agriculture in Africa.
Don’t navigate your new life alone. Reach out to your local settlement agency—or connect with PROSDOMA today and let’s build your future together.
