How to ask us for help
There is no wrong way to get in touch, and no question is too small. Here is what happens when you do.
What we cannot do
We would rather say it plainly than waste your time.
- We do not give legal advice or immigration opinions
- We do not stand in for a doctor, a psychologist or a social worker
- We do not provide housing
- We cannot deal with an employer, a landlord or a ministry on your behalf
In every one of those cases we know someone who can, and we point you to them.
