Hamilton Immigration Partnership Council

Finding a place to live can be difficult when you are new to Canada. The Newcomer Housing Guide can help you understand how renting works in Ontario.

The guide is made for newcomers who live in Hamilton or plan to move here, especially first-time renters. It is also a helpful resource for community agencies and service providers who support newcomers.

To make the guide accessible to as many people as possible, it is available in multiple languages. We are actively working to expand our translation offerings, with more languages coming soon. Our goal is to help newcomers access important housing information in the language they are most comfortable using.
