NEWCOMER SURVEY |
 |
The Government of Canada through the Department of
Citizenship and Immigration Canada provided the City of Sault Ste. Marie with funding to create
a Local Immigration Partnership in our community intended to research and improve services for
newcomers to Sault Ste. Marie.
We ask that if you are a recent newcomer to Sault Ste.
Marie that you please take a few minutes and fill out the following questionnaire. This will help the Local Immigration Partnership to gather
further information about existing services and how we can improve on these services to help
you through the process of moving to Sault Ste. Marie. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and
we would like to thank you for taking some time to help our City develop in assisting newcomer
to Sault Ste. Marie.
To begin filling out the Newcomer Questionnaire, please click

The EQAO just released the average test scores for all students who took the test in the 2009-10 school year. If your child took an EQAO test last school year, she or he will get an Individual Student Report (ISR) this fall.
