LEF is excited to announce a new program is now available for our clients looking to evaluate their international education.
World Education Services (WES) Gateway Program assesses the educational credentials of refugees and other displaced persons who have limited proof of academic achievements.
During the month of June, we reflect on the important contributions of the older members of our community. Our Seniors Program has grown immensely over the last few years, creating a space where older adults can come together to find a sense of belonging and fun.
If you would like to get involved with the Seniors @ LEF Program, contact us by phone at (416) 769-0830 or by email at newcomers@lefca.org.
LEF is following the Province of Ontario's mandated proof of double vaccination for all individuals (clients, contractors, and visitors) entering our facilities at 116 Industry St. or any of our Child Care Centres.
This Canada Day let’s take a pause; rather, a walk. A walk to reflect and re-assess, all that has gone into making the country we call “Canada”. Join us for the “Every Child Matters Walk” to honour and support former students of Residential School, and 1000’s of children who perished while attending Kamloops-Brandon-Cowessess.This Canada Day let’s not move forward with division and anger in our hearts, but with reconciliation, understanding, and unity.

Online Workshops and Information Sessions – We run a variety of online workshops on different topics related to the needs of newcomers. Workshops we have run include settlement matters such as Introduction to Canada, immigration, Childcare, Elementary and Secondary Education, community resources and programs, the Canadian income tax system, Ontario’s Employment Standards Act, Professional accreditation, rights and responsibilities and housing information and other topics relevant to newcomers in Ontario.
One-on-One Settlement Information and Supports – Everyday we provide one-on-one supports and counseling to newcomers on a variety of issues and topics. These supports including information around documentation and status, support with sponsorship of family members, education, employment and housing, translation services, and escorting to community services. Our settlement staff are all qualified to support all of the needs of newcomers and ease their transition into the community. For those services which are not available at LEF, we can refer to large network of community partners.
Everyday we provide one-on-one supports and counseling to newcomers on a variety of issues and topics.
International Doctors Network (IDN) – The IDN was created to formalize the work of International Medical Graduate’s self-study group, and to provide more specialized support to its members.
As tax season approaches, we offer supports for newcomers filing their taxes. This involves workshops and supports, as well as a clinic providing more individual supports.
LEF operates a vibrant community and youth hub at 1267 Weston Road, it is a space for youth to grow, build positive social support networks, and develop a strong connection to their community.
In addition to our regular settlement services, we also offer supports that are specifically for youth.
