Welcome to Quinte United Immigrant Services...
Quinte United
Immigrant Services offers direct, essential services to newcomers to
Canada including reception, orientation, translation/interpretation,
referral to community resources, solution focused counselling, general
information, and employment-related services to meet the needs of newly
arrived immigrants any time after their arrival in Canada through the
Immigrant Settlement and Adaptation Program, the Newcomer Settlement
Program.
A Citizenship and
Immigration Canada Host Program is also offered and designed to match
resident Canadians with new immigrants to help them learn how to live in
Canada. This service is generally accessed by clients who need to locate
housing, transportation, furniture, and most commonly practice their
English or French skills.
Further, we offer a
Newcomer Employment Resource Centre which provides pre-employment
support on effective job search skills to immigrants and refugees who
are unemployed, out of school and legally allowed to work in Canada with
the goal of helping them enter the workforce.
We also offer a translation service as well as
Central Eastern Ontario Translation and Interpretation Services which
provides Face-to-Face Interpretation, Telephone Interpreting, Message
Relay, and Document Translation. The services offered by Central Eastern
Ontario Translation and Interpretation Services are available free of
charge for victims of Domestic Violence.
We
are currently looking for volunteers, as well as interpreters for many languages.
