Welcome to Canada

The "Welcome to Canada" program will provide pre-stages support to those interested in returning to and/or immigrating to Canada and/or to study and/or work in Canada with sharing, information, supporting and referral services. 

Sharing will focus on how to transit smoothly and successfully into Canada’s mainstream as well as rights and duties of Canadian residents. 

Information will be focused on understanding properly the immigration/international study and temporary working policy, and the pathway and steps to return to and/or immigrate to Canada, study and/or to work Canada. 

Supporting and referral services will be provided directly by the directors of the organization.

We will provide services to all of those in need, but will prioritize Canadian, Canadian Permanent Residents, international students, workers in Canada, prospective immigrants, and beneficiaries with strong ties with Canada. We will also accommodate other beneficiaries who have an interest to immigrate, study and/or work in Canada. In addition, priority will be given to those candidates suffering hardships due to political, finance and/or family issues.

Information will be provided through workshops and seminars, which will be provided online and offline. Topics will include: Knowing about Canada, Tips to Immigrate, Study and Work in Canada, How to be a Responsible Immigrant in Canada, and will be focused on providing information and advice on how to move to/ return to/ study/ work and settle in Canada. 

For workshops and seminars, we will invite Governmental officials, Immigration lawyers, Educators, Accountants, Bankers, Financial Planners, student counselors, social workers and psychologists as guest speakers and/or instructors. 

Through our workshops and seminars, we hope to help newcomers smoothly transition to Canadian society and become fully-participating in their communities, including learning about and participating in reconciliation efforts with Indigenous peoples, and supporting Canadian charities through donations and volunteerism.

In-person workshops and seminars will be held in both Canada and Hong Kong. They are anticipated to be held in schools, community centers, hotel conference rooms, business centers, and the Hong Kong City Hall. 

We started having sharing sessions in Hong Kong in December, 2020, and have had over 20 workshops, providing information to over 800 attendees to date. 

In the coming future, workshops and seminars will be held in British Columbia, Ontario and Alberta. It is anticipated that workshops and seminars would last from one to three hours and be held once or twice a month. It is also anticipated that about 30 to 100 attendants would attend per workshop or seminar, whether those are held in-person or virtually. Attendance would depend on the capacity of venue, the topic, and in addition the current situation, for example, when the place is suffering from political and/or finance issues.
