Community Desk, QSAre you new to Canada? We can help you settle in!
The Library Settlement Partnership (LSP) program is a partnership of Cambridge Public Library, the Kitchener-Waterloo Multicultural Centre, and Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). By placing settlement workers in the comfort and accessibility of local libraries, the LSP programs ensures support for our new neighbours as they work through their settlement needs in Canada. We can help with citizenship, housing, education, English language assessments, connecting with community resources, and much more.
Services Offered
- Virtual settlement support to newcomers.
- Information sessions relevant to newcomer needs in collaboration with Cambridge Public Library.
- LSP staff provide orientation to library services and referrals.
- Services available virtually, over the phone, and in-person on select days.
