Life At IRCOM

IRCOM is deeply grateful to TD for their generous $80,000 contribution, a gift that strengthens the path for newcomer families building their lives here in Manitoba. This support will directly fuel our literacy programs for children, youth, and adults — programs that help newcomers find their voice, grow their confidence, and feel at home in their new community.

Language is the starting point for connection, belonging, and opportunity. With this investment, more families will have access to the tools and guidance they need to learn, participate, and thrive.

Thank you, TD, for standing alongside newcomers and investing in their future.

Your commitment creates real change, one learner at a time. 💞

Meet Tadiwa Kutiwa – Social Work Practicum Student at IRCOM

Tadiwa is currently studying Social Work at the University of Manitoba. Having arrived in Canada on her own, she understands firsthand the challenges that come with settling in a new country without family support.

After learning about IRCOM’s mission, Tadiwa felt inspired to join a team that helps newcomers find their footing and build a sense of belonging. She hopes to apply what she’s learning in school to real-world experiences at IRCOM, especially when it comes to addressing policies and systems that don’t always serve immigrants the way they should.

Meet Jessica Cooper – Social Work Practicum Student.

Jessica is currently studying Social Work at the University of Manitoba. As an immigrant herself, she brings a deep understanding of the challenges newcomers face when settling into a new country. Her goal is to support others by helping them access resources, build connections, and find a sense of belonging, especially when family is far away.

Through her practicum at IRCOM, Jessica hopes to learn how to create safe, welcoming spaces for newcomers and carry those lessons into her future work in social services.

To all celebrating Rosh Hashanah, may the year ahead be filled with peace and hope. ...

Welcoming communities are strong communities, and at IRCOM, that spirit starts with our own team.

Did you know that 21% of our staff are former IRCOM tenants? For many, IRCOM isn’t just a first home in Canada, it’s also a first career. Within just three years, newcomers are building stability, contributing to the economy, and giving back to the community in powerful ways.

If you’re looking for meaningful work where your impact is felt every day, join us. Together, we’re building belonging.

New to Winnipeg, Canada? Every newcomer is part of a bigger picture, helping to strengthen Canada’s economy and communities. Welcome!

At IRCOM, we exist to be that first community for families who arrive in Canada with no connections and no support system. Through affordable transitional housing, programs, and services, we empower newcomers to build stability, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

In just three short years, many families who once came to us seeking a helping hand are now giving back: working, studying, volunteering, and strengthening the very community that welcomed them. As one community member told us, “Now I’m giving back to help my community.”

That is the spirit of inclusion and belonging we are proud to celebrate during Welcoming Week.
