About Our Team
Unity Newcomer Service Inc.
Our team deeply empathizes with the challenges and hardships that accompany the journey of relocating to a new country. This understanding serves as the fundamental motivation behind the establishment of Unity Newcomer Services. Based in Winnipeg, Unity Newcomer Services, often referred to as UNS, is a non-profit organization committed to assisting newcomers in their transition to Canada.
Our Mission
The initial move to Canada can be overwhelmingly stressful and chaotic. Newcomers frequently find themselves having to schedule numerous appointments individually, incurring excessive expenses on taxi and ride-share services, all the while grappling with uncertainty about the necessary preparations for these appointments. These are the common challenges faced by newcomers upon their arrival in Canada. At UNS, our mission is clear: to facilitate the transition for newcomers, making it as seamless as possible, and extending a warm welcome to new members of our society.
How We Operate
UNS operates as a non-profit organization, which means that all our services are provided entirely free of charge. Our funding is derived from various sources, including fundraising events, support from social organizations, and generous donations from individuals who share our vision. If you would like to support our mission, please don't hesitate to contact us via email or telephone. Your support is invaluable in helping us fulfill our commitment to newcomers and the community.
