The Canadian Foundation for Economic Education (www.cfee.org) is organizing a virtual workshop designed for newcomers and recent immigrants to Canada designed to help newcomers adapt to the realities of life in Canada, with a financial focus. The workshop presentation will run from 12:45 – 2:15 p.m. PT followed by a Question & Answer period from 2:15 – 2:45 p.m. PT.

Our goal for the workshop is to help participants to:

• think about financial matters in a Canadian context (to identify what is the same, and what may be different from a participant’s country of origin);
• reflect on life events and the financial decisions that relate to those events; and
• practice the appropriate vocabulary and English language terms around money and financial decisions in Canada.

This workshop is for those that have achieved Canada Language Benchmark (CLB) 4 to 6.

Topics Include:

• Review of Canada’s Financial System, Canadian Banking
• Stock markets in Canada
• Investing in Real Estate
• Wealth management tips and a review of Basic Investments​
• Tax reduction strategies

The financial challenges of living in a COVID19 Pandemic will be addressed and participants will be introduced to a web-based tool, addressing financial questions linked to life events and money decisions that Canadians make.
