Our Story

The creation of the Well-Being for All Foundation was born from a deep commitment to addressing the essential needs of newcomers to Canada. Aware of the significant challenges faced by individuals starting a new life in a foreign country, the founders felt a pressing need to provide holistic, compassionate, and accessible support. The Foundation was therefore established with a clear purpose: to accompany newcomers at every stage — from a warm and welcoming reception to sustainable settlement, all the way to harmonious integration — in order to facilitate their adaptation and personal growth within Canadian society. Its primary ambition is to ensure that every newcomer can settle with confidence, thrive, and build a new, stable, and fulfilling life. Specializing in Pre-Arrival immigration support, the Foundation works with candidates from French-speaking African countries wishing to immigrate to Canada as students, temporary workers, or future permanent residents. It assists them with job-search strategies, the preparation of Canadian-standard résumés and cover letters, and interview coaching. To date, the Foundation has helped three candidates obtain excellence scholarships from the Québec Métiers d’Avenir training centers, enabling them to study in Québec free of charge for the 2024–2025 school year. In addition, more than 20 candidates have secured employment contracts and work permits and are now in Canada with their families. The Foundation’s greatest achievement, however, lies in its support for candidates pursuing permanent residency. Since 2023, the Foundation has welcomed more than 1,500 families to Canada. This success has been achieved despite significant shortages in financial, material, and human resources. Its rapid growth demonstrates the relevance of its mission and the strength of its programs, which have become increasingly structured and responsive to the growing needs of newcomers. The Foundation has also built strong partnerships with government and community organizations to strengthen its impact and expand its services. Today, the Well-Being For All Foundation has become a major actor not only in Pre-Arrival immigration services but also in the reception, settlement, and integration of newcomers across Canada. It offers a wide range of services, including housing and furnishing assistance, cultural festivals, employability programs, social activities, and networking opportunities. This remarkable success is rooted above all in the exceptional dedication of its team of committed volunteers, whose involvement makes the Foundation’s mission possible. We extend our sincere gratitude to them and offer a heartfelt thank you for their devotion and generosity.
