Money Basics for Newcomers (Part I & Part II)
Online Workshop

Coming to Canada takes courage, resilience, and a whole lot of adaptation. The Canadian financial system can feel complex and confusing – and the amount of information available can quickly become overwhelming. This session is here to help. In Money Basics for Newcomers to Canada, you’ll learn how to open a bank account, understand the difference between banks and credit unions, explore the types of accounts available to you, and learn how to send money home. In Part II, you’ll dive into credit – how to use it wisely, how to read your credit report, and how to recognize and report fraud and scams in Canada. This session is welcoming, practical, and designed specifically with newcomers in mind. Join us and walk away with practical strategies you can use right away.
