Catholic Centre for Immigrants – Ottawa
You can make in-person appointments
In late March, we slowly started to re-open our offices at 219 Argyle. Clients can now book appointments to visit our offices. If you visit without an appointment, we will ask you to make one and then return on that day. We are doing this for two reasons. Although many COVID restrictions have ended, our first priority is still your health and safety and the health and safety of our staff. Secondly, not all of our counsellors have returned to work. By booking an appointment, you are guaranteed to see a counsellor in the office. To book an appointment, please call 613-232-9634 or fill out our Contact Form.
