Peterborough values you as New Canadians – and the skills, experience, and knowledge that you bring with you. The Peterborough Partnership Council on Immigrant Integration is implementing a community strategy to help immigrants successfully settle into the area. This website is one of the first projects of the Council, and it has been created with the help of recent immigrants, immigrant service providers, service agencies, and local employers.
This website has been created for those who are either thinking of immigrating to Canada, or who have recently arrived. It contains information to help you decide if you want to live in Peterborough and how to get settled here.
