Services and Supports for Newcomers

The Immigrant Education Department is here to help you make the transition to life, education and work in Canada. That includes help with language, bridging programs, and Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition(PLAR).

In addition, there is access to child care, right here on campus.

Early Childhood Lab Schools give priority to your children.

George Brown College operates nine child care centres and priority is given to children of George Brown students. Full-time students can get subsidies, but spaces are limited and the waiting list for each centre is long. Students who are eligible can apply for subsidy through Toronto Children Services at 416-392-5437 or www.toronto.ca/children. Open New Browser Window
