Tips for
immigrants

Témiscamingue is home to a number of growing immigrant communities. People originating from France, Belgium, Benin, Ivory Coast, Algeria, and Burkina Faso have all recently made Témiscamingue their new home and we’ve asked them to come up with a few tips!

  1. Contact the welcome centre at CJET before visiting the region.
  2. Come visit the area before settling down, to be well prepared for your arrival. Some of the programs can help you lower your costs!
  3. Anticipate your transportation needs.
  4. Don’t be shy: get involved and participate in activities to build your network.
  5. Come join the adventure — it’s really worth it!
