Welcome to CNAP™ — Your Comprehensive Newcomer Adjustment Framework

Canada’s first branded, fully integrated newcomer adjustment program combines essential housing assistance, financial literacy, and intercultural training in one scalable, effective model.

Through CNAP™ - We plan to address 

Critical Gaps in Newcomer Settlement (Evidence-Based) Housing Barriers

• Affordability Crisis: 36% of recent immigrant households live in "core housing need" compared to 13.7% of non-immigrant households

• Market Discrimination: Housing discrimination and limited access to information create additional barriers

• Fragmented Support: Settlement workers often lack systematic housing knowledge, while housing agencies lack cultural sensitivity training

Employment & Financial Literacy Gaps

• Earnings Gap: Immigrants with permanent, full-time work in Toronto earn $0.67 for every dollar their Canadian-born peers make

• Skills Mismatch: Immigration system focuses on short-term labour demands rather than long-term structural needs, leading to underemployment

• Credential Recognition: Foreign credential devaluation remains a persistent barrier to labour market integration

Social Belonging & Integration Challenges

• Isolation Rates: Immigrants report significantly higher levels of loneliness and social isolation than Canadian-born citizens

• Mental Health Impact: 20% of newcomers report high levels of depression compared to 14% of non-newcomers

• Systemic Barriers: Language barriers, limited social networks, and systematic exclusion due to racism create ongoing challenges

Service Delivery Gaps

• Coordination Issues: Settlement services are fragmented, with organizations operating in silos rather than providing integrated support

• Capacity Strain: High immigration levels have placed additional pressure on settlement service delivery, with longer wait times for essential services
