Looking for a Shelter Home or Temp Place to Stay

Finding Housing
1

Hello,

I’m a Canadian Citizen who has been stuck in different country for a couple years now.

I finally found a way to get back and I’m looking to start all over again from scratch. Meaning I don’t have a job, I don’t have money, and I don’t have family that live in Canada no more.

When I fly back to come back to nothing, I really don’t know where to start.
I’m legally entitled to work in Canada because I am a Canadian born Citizen, but where do I begin?
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

You may be able to find some helpful information in our Settlement.Org What do I do if I arrive with no place to stay? article.

Once you arrive, you may want to dial 211 on a phone and speak to an Information and Referral Specialist to see if they can connect you to other services that you may be eligible for as a Canadian Citizen.

211 is a free, confidential service that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
