Here’s how we can help.
Accueil et intégration
Maintenant que vous avez un statut de réfugié·e accepté·e, vous avez droit à plusieurs services. Notre équipe peut vous rencontrer afin d’évaluer vos besoins, créer un plan d’action, vous orienter vers les services collectifs québécois et vous aider avec vos documents d’immigration.
French courses
Mastering the basics of French will help you thrive both personally and professionally in Quebec. French is the official language and is spoken everywhere.
If you want to continue the immigration process, you’ll need to demonstrate some knowledge of the language. We can help. French courses offered at PROMIS by the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI) are free and easily accessible
Employment assistance
Finding a job is key to fully integrating and thriving in Quebec. At PROMIS, we offer continuous support to help you secure employment in your field of expertise. From diploma accreditation to CV writing and identifying applicable training, we’ll be by your side.
Family support
PROMIS organizes affordable socio-cultural outings in Montreal for the whole family and themed workshops on family life in Quebec. We also offer personalized support to help you successfully integrate for the long haul.
Academic support
Our team creates a link between your child, their school, and your community to help you better understand the school system in Quebec – all in your native language. Our goal is to support children ages 6 to 12 with academic challenges, helping them persevere and become engaged members of society.
Food action
We can help you get oriented at the grocery store and cook with local products. Participate in our food workshops and training sessions to learn how to cook delicious recipes and make healthy choices. You can even harvest fresh fruits and vegetables in our community garden.
Live in a non-metropolitan area
Montreal and Quebec City aren’t the only places to live! The province has 17 different regions that are bursting with career options, affordable rent, a lower cost of living, and plenty of nature to explore. Leverage our network to facilitate a smooth move to one of Quebec’s non-metropolitan regions.
