Financial Literacy Resources

"Newcomers to Canada may face particular challenges in meeting their needs for financial information, education and advice during their settlement and integration in Canada.  Newcomers face numerous barriers, not the least of which are language, cultural and settlement.  In addition, recent studies have revealed that poverty is an increasing reality among many newcomers.“ Canadian Centre for Financial Literacy
