How: A Purpose-Built eLibrary to Support Newcomers Every Step of the Way
To further support its mission, Planning for Canada has launched a new eLibrary – a user-friendly, mobile-optimized platform that houses hundreds of curated resources for clients preparing to live and work in Canada. Designed with accessibility and clarity in mind, the eLibrary allows PfC clients to easily browse or search for resources by location, topic, or category, and discover content tailored to their unique needs and goals.
