Getting settled and facilitating your family’s integration

Steps to take as soon as you arrive

The path to integration differs for each new arrival, depending on their needs and personal goals. Learning About Québec: Guide for my successful integration can help you evaluate your needs and discover the steps to take to make your integration and that of your family that much easier.

Although this Guide is more specifically intended for workers, it can help you in all your proceedings not linked to business.

It contains information and advice on:

• finding a place to settle
• the important documents you need to obtain as soon as you arrive in Québec (health insurance card, social insurance number, permanent resident card, driver’s license)
• French courses
• public services (education, childcare, medical, social, municipal, employment, family assistance).

You’ll also discover welcome and integration support services the Immigration Québec office in your region offers to all new immigrants. You can attend a free information session that will review more specialized services offered by the Ministry’s partners.
