Welcome to YMCA Newcomer Services in London

At YMCA, we are here to help you take your next step with confidence. If you are new to Canada our London team is ready to support you with care, respect, and understanding.

Our services are free to eligible participants, and you are welcome here. You can receive support with settling into life in Canada, including help with forms, community services, work permits, English classes, and understanding your options.

We know that starting fresh can feel overwhelming. That’s why we take time to listen, explain things clearly, and connect you to the right supports. You don’t have to do this alone − the Y is a place of community, here to help you feel supported, connected, and ready to move forward together.

Dalal's Y Story

“The YMCA has been my second home since I came to Canada. It’s where I found people interested in helping me and who cared about my goals. I have gone through a lot of hardships since my arrival to the new country and I felt alone, isolated and afraid for the future. In the past 6 years, the YMCA and its team were here for me. I have walked baby steps to learn the English language, but at one point I couldn’t improve it more; I have attended many sessions and activities just to stay involved in my community and learn more about my new home. Two years ago, I applied for my Canadian citizenship and It was not successful, the test was so hard for me. But after three attempts to pass the test, I needed someone to walk with me and encourage me to take the test again for the fourth time before I dropped everything. The YMCA Newcomers services assisted me another time and… I just did the test and I passed it. This was the best time of my life; it was actually mixed with tears of joy and pride. I was able to achieve my goal with the encouragement of the people who witnessed my citizenship journey in Canada.”
