Helping up to tear down the wall !!!!!!
By Omar Rojas
Many multicultural associations financially helped by Immigration Canada work are responsible for welcoming the new comers in Canada. Those associations offer a good portfolio of services that help new immigrates to integrate our society. Their role is basically to help new migrants and refugees to access and understand the range of Government services that are available to them. Many families come to Canada looking for a better opportunity, but some others have fled their countries because of fear of persecution in their own country. It is hard in both cases and that is why multicultural associations hire social workers with different back grows in order to help more effectible those families. Many of those families come unknowing a word in English and the first step to help them out is enrolling them in English courses such as LINC and ESL programs. Some of these people have excellent professional experience and education but the lack of language is the first barrier to overcome. Now, there is a federal financial funding that help families not only to go back to school, but also through welfare they got an amount of money that covers at least rent, transportation, and some food while they are learning English. But all that information and some more is available through Internet and the mentioned associations that make a little easier this hardship in some cases.
