Helping a Record Influx of New Canadians

Last year saw a record 431,465 immigrants coming to Canada, and in the Fraser Valley, Archway Community Services is playing a key role in welcoming newcomers into our communities. Through a variety of different programs, Archway helps newcomers learn English, find employment, and integrate into the community. One program, Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC), had more than 500 students studying English, Canadian history and culture in 2022.
