LSPs are newcomer information services that are offered to different communities throughout Ontario. These LSPs provide free assistance with getting a job, learning English, getting a driver's licence, and much more.The service is made possible by a partnership of the settlement sector, public libraries, and Citizen and Immigration Canada.

There are 16 different Toronto Public Library branches that have a LSP worker who specializes in one-on-one settlement information and referral, group information sessions, and community outreach provided in a variety of languages. These 16 library branches include:

Within these library branches, there are eight Settlement Agency Partners that offer services and programs. These agencies are listed below, please click on the agency name to access their website.

Hi there,
I would like to contact the person in charge of the settlement services at TPL. I have this information from a few years ago but I’m not sure if it’s still accurate :

Hi there:
I would like the contact email for the individual responsible for settlement services at Eatonville. I received a bounceback from a contact I have.
Thanks
