Settling in Canada: organize the first steps

Build a practical checklist around your destination and household.

Official starting point

Official settlement information links newcomers to services and everyday-life guidance. Available services and eligibility can differ. Start with the official resources and check the provider’s current requirements.

Your recordkeeping checklist

Group your checklist into housing, health, school, work and essential documents. Note the organization contacted, appointment date and next action. Keep identity numbers out of shared notes and review each household member’s needs separately.
