CCI Ottawa

For more than seventy years, CCI has helped newcomers in Ottawa settle, grow, and feel connected to their new community. We provide settlement services and support that fits each individual’s needs, helping newcomers find their place, build connections, and succeed.

Our support spans: settlement and integration, language learning, employment support, youth programs, housing, and community connection. We work with immigrants and refugees at every stage of their settlement journey, helping newcomers navigate life in Ottawa, build independence, access opportunities, and feel at home in their community.

We believe that welcoming newcomers benefits everyone. The skills, experiences, and perspectives newcomers bring make Ottawa stronger, improve our neighbourhoods, and help create a more welcoming city for all.

We provide programs and services to all immigrants and refugees regardless of race, national or ethnic origin, religion, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, or mental or physical ability.
