WORKSHOPS
As part of this project, we will offer a series of workshops for the communities directly concerned and some training sessions for community workers. The workshops and trainings will deal with access to social programs in Quebec according to immigration status. The trainings for community workers will also deal with the immigration system in general.
Let us know if you are interested in receiving us for a workshop and/or training. We will start facilitating workshops in December 2018. We are able to travel outside of Montreal.
Regarding the content of the workshops, we can adapt it to your needs. For example, we can explain the various residence criteria applicable to be eligible to social programs (welfare, healthcare, unemployment, etc.), or limit the presentation to a few social programs to explain them more thoroughly, or we can present access to social benefits and programs for one or a some of those immigration status:
- Asylum seeker
- Non status
- Accepted refugee
- Refused refugee
- Temporary Resident Permit Holder
- Temporary worker and international student
- Permanent resident
