North Bay
Known as the “Gateway of the North”, the City of North Bay combines the natural beauty of the outdoors with an opportunity to grow and thrive in an economically diverse setting – all within a 3.5-hour drive of Ottawa and Toronto.
The city of 54,000 is a welcoming destination for immigrants, featuring the North Bay & District Multicultural Centre and the North Bay Newcomer Network. These resources deliver many helpful programs and services, such as registering for school, obtaining a health card and learning a new language.
The North Bay Immigration Portal can assist individuals during every stage of the immigration process. Visit the website to find information in these sections:
North Bay offers many arts and cultural activities, including the Dionne Quints Museum, which celebrates the famous quintuplets born in the city in 1934, and a vibrant waterfront on Lake Nipissing that is home to carousels, parks and the Chief Commanda II passenger cruise ship.
The North Bay community is home to friendly people, safe neighbourhoods and a wealth of resources to help newcomers find a job, locate affordable housing and feel comfortable in their new surroundings.
The Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration provided funding for the development of the North Bay Immigration website. Visit the Cities and Towns section of OntarioImmigration.ca for more municipal newcomer sites.
