Elementary and Secondary School Preparation for Newcomers

In Canada, primary (elementary) and secondary education are managed by each province or territory. Attendance is mandatory for children to receive an education. Many schools have settlement workers to help children and parents who are new to Canada. Ask your school about this if you’re interested.

Welcome to the Prairies, a Land Rooted in Culture

If you are new to Canada, about to move to Canada, or considering starting moving to Canada, take some time out to read about First Nations and the Indigenous people. Their land has welcomed many refugees and immigrants from all over the world. Learning and understanding this history should be your first step in your settlement journey.
