7. IKEA offers really cheap breakfast and coffee. Use it whenever you want. IKEA waste plates are put in the open and most customers eat the full of it. If you eat from the waste, the camera's may pick you and they my ban you.

Thanks for the laugh..
A very good info for those who are really struggling. Till the date I did not even know about some the place and I am really thankful to God that I did not have to know about it.
But indeed helpful.
BTW after taking advantages of all these services which are offered mostly by volunteers, did you volunteer at such places?

2. Use COSTI/ Skills for change etc.. They are for your use. Use them max..
3. Soup Kitchens are to help you. When you do a job search, you donot have time to cook and Canada understands that. You get a hot meal.
4. In Canada, dumpsters contain garbage or furniture.
5. Use walk in clinics.
6. Some schools serve free breakfast. Donot be ashamed not to use it. It is for your children.
7. IKEA offers really cheap breakfast and coffee. Use it whenever you want. Hope this helps new immigrants.
Bhootnath dude,
I did not take use all the services like soup kitchen etc... but these are what I have understood after spending 9 years in Canada.
These are from personal experiences, reading The Star, Redflagdeals.com and hearing from other desi's.
It is by no means a full list but this is what I know.
As for volunteering, Yes. I have volunteered by spending time on work (for free) on saturdays, many sundays and many holidays.
I have also volunteered helping special people in shopping malls, like opening the main door, hitting the handicapped open button, loaded wheel chairs in vans etc...
Hope this helps.
Peace by Murali
