a strong Canada and a strong Jewish community of tomorrow
JIAS Toronto is the gateway for newcomers to our community.  Our professional staff provide expert outreach, support, counseling, training,referral services and English language programs supported by our funders -- Citizenship and Immigration Canada, UJA Federation, and the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration -- and by working in partnership with our network of government funded agencies,  immigrant service sector agencies and associations, volunteer and grassroots  groups and community organizations. We help to make Canada a true home for immigrants through a comprehensive continuum of services, from the information they receive pre-arrival to welcome and settlement services, and continuing through to integration and community belonging and connections.
