I-migrate Settlement Inc. Addresses Resettling Challenges
Published by Taliba #75 (February 07-24, 2006) in Toronto, Ontario
Moving to a new country poses a lot of challenges. Especially for
those who have no family or friends to assist them during this
transition. The uncertainty of a new life and the unfamiliarity of a
new place can be a source of stress and emotional upheaval.
Figures from Statistics Canada indicated that between 1971 and 1992,
Filipinos made up between four and six percent of annual immigration
to Canada. Today, these newer Canadians constitute one of the
fastest-growing immigrant communities in Canada. By 1996, there were
243,000 people of Filipino heritage living in Canada with half of
those in Ontario, 50,000 in British Columbia and 25,000 in Alberta.
For whatever reason, be it economic, political, or something else,
Filipinos will continue to migrate. Toronto is one of the top
choices to start a new life. But even with Toronto's diversity of
culture and the Filipino's innate adaptability to change--starting
in a new country, learning new rules, although not necessarily new
language, settling-in still can be daunting.
Fortunately, a group of eight spirited Filipino-Canadians who
observed analysed and have experienced the same initial challenges,
came together to offer relief and reliable service to new immigrants
to Toronto.
I-migrate Settlement Inc. operates with the value of making
someone "feel at home." Filipinos coming to Toronto who neither
have family nor friends to welcome them will be picked up at the
airport then. They get assistance to secure dwelling around the
GTA. On their first business day in Toronto, new immigrants will be
chaperoned to obtain some of the most important and urgently needed
documents to get started, so to speak: OHIP card, SIN, and perhaps
requirements to obtain a driver's license. I-migrate Settlement Inc.
will also acquaint new immigrants of existing recognized Filipino
community centres and government funded organizations where
additional assistance on various other matters may be available. New
immigrants will also be given assistance in setting up a bank
account.
For a very reasonable fee, I-migrate Settlement Inc. will make the
first few days less trying and less stressful. While Filipinos are a
very hospitable people, the reality of Canadian living sometimes
does not allow for this trait to be practiced and appreciated.
Friends and family can prove to be unreliable at times and asking
favours could cause a strain in relationships. Unfortunately for
Filipinos, the sense of indebtedness or "utang na loob" clings on
for a lifetime. Sadly, no matter how one tries, one can
never "repay" a favour done.
I-migrate Settlement Inc. promises a warm, professional, no-strings-
attached service.
So save yourself or your friends the unpleasant experience that
comes with unmet expectations. Leave settling-in worries to I-
migrate Settlement Inc.
Welcome to Canada!
