Economic Support Group for Immigrants
According to research, immigrants are constantly finding it difficult to continue on their previous career path on landing and tend to settle for lower income-paying jobs; some actually deviate and, in the process, become very disillusioned and discouraged with the whole process of immigrating. Afri-Can Connect has created a support group program that takes places bi-monthly last Saturday in the month to provide support as well as strategies for newly landed immigrants who wants and needs that community support.
