Capital Integration Movement

About Capital Integration Movement

Newcomers and Refugees to Canada often lack adequate access to healthcare, education, and employment due to language and technological barriers as well as constraints of supporting a family. This regrettably makes it difficult for them to integrate into their new community in the nation's capital. Capital Integration Movement brings together a group of Ottawa youth of various ages, educational experiences, cultural backgrounds and language skills who share a common vision: that youth can make an impact and it is up to us to address the needs of our city’s burgeoning immigrant community. Our magic formula is to always dedicate a listening ear, an empathetic heart, boundless enthusiasm for cooperation and a willingness to act. We’re on a mission to provide newcomers with accurate information and direct them to available resources and strive to not only lend a hand — but also help newcomers become truly independent by addressing skill gaps (e.g. language skills and internet literacy). This will manifest itself in the form of a comprehensive resource hub, a series of care packages, and in-person/virtual webinars. Most importantly, as the cornerstone of our movement, all the above initiatives will be delivered in as many languages as possible.
