Handy Canadian Government Websites
Canadian Government websites can be hard to find especially if you are a new permanent resident Canada, visiting Canada or simply don’t know what you are looking for. I often have people email me to ask me questions about where to look for jobs in Canada or about the Employment Standards Act etc. I thought it would only be fitting to have a page with important Canadian Government Websites that pertains to life in Canada. I know when I moved to Canada from the UK I had to visit and contact many of these services so they may be handy if you are starting your new life in Canada like I did.
If you want me to add something I’ve missed please send me a message here.

In BC, we have 1-800-dial-a-dietician (see http://www.bced.gov.bc.ca/health/dad_card2_sep26.pdf) and can dial 8-1-1 from anywhere in the province to speak with a registered nurse, dietitian or pharmacist or to find a health resource close to home. Do you have similar programs in Ontario? If so, I would add these to the resource sheet.
I believe we have tele-health here in Ontario… great idea. Thanks Mary!!! Mr.CBB
