Now, an internet resource has been created for newcomers to help them quickly and easily find a range of government services, in addition to settlement services, in their communities, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced this week.

The resource is easy to find at www.servicesfornewcomers.cic.gc.ca.

"The Services for Newcomers resource has been put in place to help newcomers find the private sector and government services they need to succeed," said Kenney.

"This can only increase their chance of successful integration within their new communities, and this is an important goal for Canada."

The Services for Newcomers resource helps newcomers to Canada locate settlement services in their community, as well as find a range of other federal, provincial, and territorial government services.

This on-line resource will be updated and expanded continually to add more information on services newcomers will likely be searching for when they first arrive.
