01 · The Montréal reality
No one should face an unfamiliar system alone.
Immigration has deeply shaped Montréal. Arrival can also bring language barriers, complex administrative processes, difficult access to housing, work or care, and a temporary loss of familiar bearings and social networks. Translation and interpretation can be essential to understand one’s rights, communicate clearly and reach the right services.
