Camer SC’s Newcomer Support Program is a vital initiative designed to welcome and assist newly arrived Cameroonians as they transition into life in Toronto. Rooted in our values of solidarity and community, the program offers practical guidance, emotional support, and cultural orientation to help newcomers navigate essential areas such as housing, employment, healthcare, education, and legal documentation. Our team of volunteers and community partners work closely with individuals and families to ensure they feel seen, supported, and empowered from day one.
In addition to providing resources and referrals, the program fosters social integration through events, mentorship, and peer connections. Whether it’s a newcomer coffee meet-up, information session, or cultural orientation day, each activity is designed to reduce isolation and create a welcoming environment. The goal is not just to help newcomers survive—but to thrive—by becoming active, informed, and connected members of the Camer SC community and the broader Canadian society.
The Newcomer Support Program is essential in addressing the immediate and long-term needs of Cameroonians arriving in Toronto. For many, the settlement process can be overwhelming and isolating.
This program fills a critical gap by providing culturally relevant support, reducing barriers to integration, and creating a pathway for newcomers to build meaningful relationships and contribute to the community. It reflects Camer SC’s commitment to uplifting its members and ensuring that no one navigates this journey alone.

Newcomers receive essential knowledge and support to navigate life in Canada, including access to services, understanding local systems, and connecting with community networks.
Through mentorship and peer engagement, participants build meaningful relationships that reduce isolation, foster belonging, and promote emotional well-being.
As newcomers settle, they are encouraged and equipped to give back—whether through volunteering, sharing their experiences, or participating in Camer SC activities—creating a sustainable cycle of support and leadership.
