Without English or French, refugees can't start life in Canada.
Canada's language classes are overwhelmed by the number of refugees arriving because of war.

Our program is an innovative solution to a national problem - helping new Canadians learn English.
We hire teachers, who are also refugees, to teach refugee students through flexible online classes.
Refugees then practice their English with Canadian volunteers, building their confidence and connections with the community. Refugees also get access to our library of learning resources.
Are you a refugee interested in our language program?
This is a program for ambitious refugees and people displaced by conflict who want to learn English and French more quickly. We offer heavily subsidized language lessons, and the opportunity to meet and practice your language with Canadian volunteers.

Open Arms
This program was made possible by the team at Open Arms.
Founded in 2021, Open Arms is a Toronto based organization dedicated to helping people fleeing conflict around the world transition to a new life in Canada. They have raised over $100,000 to support people who are impacted by global conflict to access the necessary resources and community required to start their new lives.
Open Arms is proud to be partnering with Haven to provide support for learning English, one of the biggest barriers to creating a successful life in Canada.
