About us

The Catholic Centre for Immigrants has been welcoming newcomers to Ottawa since 1954. We help refugees and immigrants settle and adapt to their new lives in Ottawa. We want them to feel at home and safe. We provide programs and services to all newcomers regardless of race, national or ethnic origin, religion, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, mental or physical ability.
