What if I am new to Canada?

Being pregnant as a newcomer to Canada can be a time of joy and celebration. It can also be a time of uncertainty filled with many questions. In a new country with new adjustments, the Pregnancy Care Centre can help so you are not alone.

We can provide you with information to help you or your partner know about your pregnancy options and how to get connected to help.

You are welcome to bring a friend to your appointment to help translate. Services can be offered in English, Spanish or Chinese by request.
