Our comprehensive range of programs and services relies on collaborative relationships with individuals, businesses, community groups and government bodies to create focused, effective and responsive resources for the community.
Position Overview
Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of immigrants and refugees? Join our team as a Case Manager, where you'll provide holistic support to individuals, families, youth, and seniors facing complex challenges in settling and integrating into Canada.

If you're dedicated to empowering communities and fostering integration, we want to hear from you!

You’ll support clients through service navigation, referrals, and advocacy to help them overcome barriers and achieve independence.
