Maylis' Settlement Story

Maylis, from France, moved to Toronto after living in the United States for two years.

Despite the difficult first few months, Maylis has managed to integrate into the Francophone community of Ontario thanks to social events like ChatOn and resources from the Centre Francophone du Grand Toronto.

Her advice to newcomer youth is not to underestimate the challenges they'll face, and to be prepared to take a step back in their career or life in general, in order to start afresh in their new country.
