Newcomer Stories - Starting Anew in Canada

At the Rexdale Women’s Centre (RWC), we are privileged to work alongside many newcomers to Canada and to hear the powerful stories they carry with them. Each individual brings unique experiences, dreams, and challenges as they navigate life in a new country. We are honoured to walk beside them, not only during moments of struggle but also as they celebrate their achievements. Finding a sense of belonging in a new society is not an easy journey. Immigrants and refugees show remarkable courage and resilience as they face language barriers, cultural adjustment, economic hardship, and emotional stress.

Some of our clients have bravely chosen to share their personal journeys to shed light on what it truly means to start over in a new country. Through their words, we gain a deeper understanding of the struggles, dreams, and unwavering resilience that shape the newcomer experience in Canada.
