Support for Newcomer Children, Youth, Women & Seniors
As a leading settlement agency in the Greater Victoria Region, the Victoria Immigrant and Refugee Centre Society is dedicated to supporting immigrants and refugees. Our comprehensive settlement, integration and anti-racism services are designed to help newcomers integrate, thrive, and build successful futures in Canada. Through our diverse programs, we empower individuals and families to navigate their new lives with confidence and hope.
We are a community-based organization that supports immigrants and refugees across Greater Victoria and Vancouver Island, with partnerships throughout British Columbia. Our services range from settlement and employment, English language training and testing, and community programs exploring gardening, the arts, and wellness.
The Community Resilience Program provides comprehensive wraparound support to newcomer, immigrant, refugee, BIPOC, and other vulnerable individuals and families of all ages.
Through case management, workshops, community events and support initiatives, our aim is to provide holistic and meaningful support to newcomer children, youth, women and seniors, through accessible, culturally-responsive and flexible services.
