Why we offer this

A significant challenge in moving to a new country is having to adapt to new banking systems, services, and products, managing a household budget, learning about a new tax system, and accessing government benefits. Overcoming these challenges often determines if newcomers will successfully integrate into their new lives in Canada.

We offer free tax-filing services, and one-on-one and group financial coaching for residents. Our financial coaches will help you build knowledge and confidence about savings, managing debt, paying taxes, budgeting, establishing and repairing credit, using banking products, and accessing government benefits.
