Immigrants

Welcome to Waterloo Region!

You’ve taken a big step in moving here, and we are ready to support you. This page connects immigrants, whether newly arrived or long established, with local organizations and services that can help you settle, thrive and contribute to shared prosperity in our community.

When you arrive, you may want to get settled in your new home, understand banking, transportation, local culture, language learning and more. There are many resources in English and other languages through local organizations to assist you.

We encourage you to take that first step today: reach out, book a settlement support session, start asking questions, and know that this community welcomes you. We all belong here.
