## What is Guide Canada?

Arriving in Canada? Guide Canada tells you what to do, in what order, for your province or territory and your situation.

YOUR SETTLEMENT CHECKLIST
• Steps for your first days, first week, first month and first year: SIN, health card, driver's licence, bank account, school for your children, taxes…
• Tailored to all 13 provinces and territories, to your status (permanent resident, worker, student, asylum claimant, refugee…) and to your family.
• Each step explains why, how, what documents to bring, the cost and the wait time, with a link to the official website.
• “Most urgent”: what to do first when you step off the plane, in order.
• Also: how to recognize scams that target newcomers, and how to protect yourself from extreme cold.
• Check off what's done and track your progress.

MY CITY
• Resources for 52 cities across Canada: settlement organizations, job search help, English and French classes, Service Canada and provincial offices, health care without a family doctor, food banks, winter coats, housing, schools, legal help… Tap a card to open the organization's website.
• Based on your status (student, temporary worker…), the app shows you which services you are eligible for.

EMERGENCY
• Your province's key numbers, one tap away, even without Internet.

MY FILE, SAFE ON YOUR PHONE
• Keep your SIN, health card number, UCI, expiry dates…
• Everything is encrypted by your phone and can be locked with your fingerprint, face or passcode.
• Reminders before a permit or card expires.
• Note your appointments: a reminder the day before and one hour before, and add them to your calendar.
• Your emergency contact, one tap away in the Emergency tab.

OFFLINE, NO ACCOUNT
• All content is inside the app. Only links to official websites need Internet.
• No account, no analytics, no personal data collected. Content corrections reach you automatically.

OFFICIAL SOURCES
Every piece of information shows its source and the date it was checked: Canada.ca, IRCC, Service Canada, the Canada Revenue Agency, provincial and territorial government websites, and the organizations named. The full list is in the app (More > Sources).

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Guide Canada is an independent app. It is not affiliated with any government and does not represent any public body. It does not give legal or medical advice: when in doubt, the official organization has the final word.
