Catholic Crosscultural Services (CCS) is a national non-profit organization, based in the Greater Toronto Area. CCS aims to empower immigrants and refugees of all religions, ethnicities, countries of origin, immigration status, sexual orientation, or political affiliation to develop the skills and acquire the necessary knowledge to settle, integrate and succeed in Canada.
Founded in 1954, CCS believes in the power of diversity and inclusion to foster change, nurture progress and move society forward. Newcomers need linguistically-appropriate assistance and culturally-sensitive support and CCS delivers programs and services in thirty languages to address these gaps, assisting clients to confidently navigate the labor market, school and health care systems.
We have eight locations across Scarborough, Mississauga and Brampton, and collaborate with numerous partners and settlement and social services sector organizations throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
CCS is proud to offer newcomer families a customized and wrap-around settlement and integration program to families with young children and families of children with special needs. We have a team of Settlement Workers professionally trained to provide support for families on their settlement journey through the implantation of a family settlement plan. A family settlement plan evaluates the needs of a family unit and leverages their collective assets to achieve their needs and goals. We will focus on assisting families of children with special needs to cope with emotional and physical demands of caring for these children. This will include working with families to gain access to support systems in navigation to services, skills building as well as self-care and empowerment.
CCS provides services that assist in the settlement and integration of immigrants and refugees.
All people are treated with dignity, respect, understanding and without discrimination. Our programs and services are guided by the teachings of Catholic Social Justice.
All of our services are FREE of your cost and are fully funded by the government funders. It is your right and benefit to have access to the settlement services as newcomers to Canada and we are here to help.
