The list offer resources for newcomers to Canada. It is sorted by Provinces/Territories. If you want to develop a guide for your community, please feel free to reach out via e-mail okondrashov@tru.ca and I can share my experience on how to develop a newcomer guide using examples from the Welcome to Kamloops guide and help you to create a guide for your area.
