Ukrainian CUAET Newcomers' Ontario Resource Package
UCC Ontario and UCC National are pleased to launch the Ukrainian CUAET Newcomers’ Ontario Resource Package.
“This much-needed Resource Package provides Ukrainian newcomers with all of the integral information they need at every stage of their journey – from obtaining all documents that they need, their legal rights, and how to find temporary housing, to meeting day-to-day needs of childcare and banking, to settling into the community and accessing health care, education and employment,” stated UCC Ontario President, Taras Bahriy. “This essential resource will provide the ability for every newcomer arriving in Ontario to be able to make decisions tailored to their unique needs and preferences.”
The resource package concisely identifies the multitude of needs that newcomers have, and provides clear information on how these needs can be met based on services provided by available provincial institutions.
The document provides key information on:
- Documents of Life (SIN, OHIP)
- Legal Rights in Canada
- Phone & Wi-Fi Plans
- Transportation
- Temporary and Permanent Housing
- Financial Assistance and Services
- Food Access
- Childcare
- Healthcare
- Education
- Employment Support
