While Toronto remains one of the major destinations for immigrants arriving to Canada, newcomers face the pressures of finding affordable housing, getting a job, re-building careers in their field, as well as developing or improving their English language skills in addition to adapting to a new culture. There are also a host of other issues that may affect the entire family.
