Funding to help newcomers settle in Kitchener-Waterloo

This initiative is AWESOME. For those in the IT field, this is great news. Kitchener-Waterloo is the home of RIM (Research In Motion), the guys that made the Blackberry. There are tons of work opportunities there and at the same time, for those looking to study, the University of Waterloo is located nearby. This university is locally and internationally recognized as one of the best.

Additionally, the Kitchener-Waterloo area is located around 50 min from Toronto and it is a great place to live. Living costs are way cheaper compared to Toronto or other neighbor cities.

Take a look at this:

“The Government of Canada wants newcomers to succeed,” said Mr. Albrecht. “This funding will give immigrants in Kitchener-Waterloo access to the support they need as they settle into our community. From language training to help finding a job, the five organizations we are supporting today deliver valuable services to newcomers. Their success is good for Kitchener-Waterloo and good for our country as a whole.”
