Canadian Government websites can be hard to find, especially if you are a new permanent resident in Canada, visiting Canada, or simply don’t know what you are looking for.
I often have people email me to ask me where to look for jobs in Canada, the Employment Standards Act, etc.
When I moved to Canada as a permanent resident 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, as I did.
If you want me to add something I’ve missed, please send me an email to canadianbudgetbinder [@} yahoo.ca
