Newcomers

Did you know...?

  • 47.8% (206,185) of Brampton’s residents are newcomers and is the fastest growing group all across the Region of Peel.
  • Newcomers arrive to Canada highly educated and skilled, but experience high rates of unemployment and poverty. In fact, the unemployment rate for recent immigrants with university diplomas or degrees is 10% compared with 3% for the total population.
  • Volunteering offers newcomers a stepping stone to the job market and assists with social integration.
  • Often newcomers are accustomed to helping their community, volunteering provides the opportunity to network and to gain a better understanding of their new community around them.
Volunteer MBC is here to support cultural diversity in volunteer management and we truly believe that there is a volunteer opportunity for everyone!
