Quebec welcomes you with open arms
Your refugee protection application has been accepted and you are now a protected person – congratulations!
Quebec is happy to welcome you with open arms. You have an entire province and culture to discover! Let PROMIS guide you through the process of building your new life.
How PROMIS supports refugees
Your status grants you access to the same services as a permanent resident. Our team can help you with every step of the integration process, from exploring the job market to finding your place in society at large.
You’ve chosen Quebec as your new home, so now, it’s our turn to extend a warm welcome! Discover the PROMIS services that might be of interest to you, depending on your needs.

Attending free French courses |
Learning and mastering French in Quebec is one of the best ways to build a bright future! As the province’s official language, French is typically favoured in the workplace and at most local events. Learning the basics and enriching your vocabulary will significantly increase your ability to flourish both personally and professionally in Quebec.
Additionally, if you want to pursue citizenship, you will need to demonstrate a certain level of French proficiency.
Our free French courses are offered by the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI). Check the calendar to sign up!

Helping you find a job |
Finding a job is an important step in your integration process: not only will it support your financial independence, but it will also accelerate your personal growth as a newcomer to Quebec.
At PROMIS, we offer personalized support to help you find a job in your field of expertise. Our advisors will help ensure your skills and education are recognized in the local job market, and point you towards any training courses that serve your needs.

Giving your family a helping hand |
Did you bring family members with you? PROMIS can help each one of you settle into Quebec!
Our volunteers will provide personalized support either at PROMIS or at your place of residence. We also frequently organize affordable outings in Montreal for the whole family, as well as themed workshops about life in Quebec.

Academic support for children and teens |
Are your children having difficulty with their new academic environment or the Quebec education system? No need to worry! PROMIS offers various academic support programs to help young immigrants aged 6 to 17.
 |
Start fresh in a non-metropolitan area |
Montreal and Quebec City are far from your only options. Life is great in our province’s non-metropolitan cities and towns!
Quebec is divided into 17 administrative regions. Many businesses choose to establish themselves outside major urban areas, leading to countless career development opportunities. Housing is more spacious and affordable compared to the city, and the cost of living is less expensive overall.
Our partner network is also here to support your smooth transition!

Get access to healthy food |
PROMIS’ Food Action service gives immigrants regular access to high-quality food at a great price. Come grow and harvest your own fruits and vegetables in our community garden, or sign up to receive our fresh produce boxes year-round!
IMPORTANT: If you are an asylum-seeker at the federal level, you can still contact us to better understand your options. You will have limited access to certain public services, but you can still take advantage of many community programs, including certain services offered at PROMIS.
