Mauricie is a reassuring, inclusive, diverse, and welcoming region. In Mauricie, we like to discover differences and similarities. We like to learn more about the culture of the people who make up OUR land of people. Immigrating requires a good dose of courage, determination, sacrifice, openness, and flexibility. Mauricie citizens will support you through that snowstorm or that river or trail you have to cross.
Mauricie welcomes newcomers from all over the world. Whether they come from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, South America or Europe, they all have the same goal: to put down roots in a calm, welcoming and inclusive region.
You’ll find grocery stores offering international specialties and products, restaurants with Oriental, Asian or Mexican flavours, and various places of worship.
Above all, your family will benefit from schools where your children can develop their artistic, scientific, sporting or entrepreneurial skills in a peaceful environment.
We’ll also have a lot of fun getting to know each other by taking part in various activities that celebrate living together.
Discovering a new environment, finding your bearings, and adapting to a new reality can take time. That’s why our host organizations help newcomers and families settle in and integrate within Mauricie communities.
