What is Compass to Connect?

Compass to Connect is an IRCC funded website created to help newcomers find and connect with government funded settlement services to get their life started in Canada. This website is designed and is maintained by the Achēv.

If you are a newcomer to Canada, Compass to Connect will connect you with the tools and resources you need in order to comfortably settle into your new life in Canada. The overall goal of this website is to ensure that newcomers are informed about IRCC funded services available to them and are connected with these services in an effective and timely manner.

All services featured on this website are FREE and open to eligible Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Clients.

This service is currently available across all GTA regions of Ontario. Compass to Connect is constantly working to collaborate with more Service Providing Organizations (SPOs) to connect newcomers with.
