Adjusting to Canada

 

Newcomers

Welcome to British Columbia, Canada!

RMCS has built a name reckoned in Richmond as an agency that helps immigrant and refugee communities.

It plays an important role in the settlement, education and integration of immigrants from the day they arrive in Canada.

We work with over 5000 immigrants annually through the help of highly qualified and dedicated staff and volunteers.
