What kind of services do new immigrants need/expect as soon as they arrive in Canada? For Eg. rental place for couple of weeks, help with SIN etc. What should be the reasonable charges for these services (from a business point of view)?

There are various CIC funded settlement services that help newcomers to settle in Canada. They help newly arrived immigrants and refugees settle in Canada by providing orientations to their new communities and guidance and support to access government and community services.

Provide information on social services, schools, health care, housing and recreational facilities; assistance in completing forms; arranges for interpreters and translators; résumé preparation and employment counselling; information about English as a Second Language training.


Here is the link to the Ontario based agencies:

I do not think that these organizations provide short term accomodation.

In fact short term accomodation is the most important need of newcomer to Canada and only a handful of businesses are providing these services. You may like to check out our classified section.

Are you asking about the ideas on how to start this business?

You should visit the local business enterprise centre (also seen in above link of every region). Find out if the city by-laws will allow you to open a guest house for short term rental in your area.
