Entrepreneurship Program for Newcomers

The Toronto Arts Foundation is seeking applications for the Newcomer Entrepreneurship Hub (NEH) program, a 5-week initiative designed to support newcomer entrepreneurs in the Greater Toronto Area.

About the Program

The NEH program is a partnership between the Toronto Arts Foundation and the Diversity Institute of Toronto Metropolitan University, funded by Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The program aims to provide newcomer entrepreneurs with the knowledge, experience, and support needed to open a business in Canada.

Program Highlights

  • Mentorship: Participants will receive guidance from local entrepreneurs and business professionals.
  • Business Model Canvas (BMC): Guided workshops will help participants map out their business ideas.
  • Networking Opportunities: Participants will have access to a larger online NEH group for knowledge sharing, events, and resources.
  • Market-Testing Opportunities: Participants will have the chance to test their business ideas in a real-world setting.
  • Wraparound Services: Participants will have access to settlement supports, translation and literacy upgrading, and referrals to other culturally-relevant services.

Eligibility

  • Must have Permanent Resident status; Convention Refugee status; or Protected Persons status.
  • Refugee Claimants will be waitlisted for future cohorts, dependent on change to their status.
  • Ukrainian temporary residents and their dependents are also eligible for IRCC-funded settlement services like NEH.

Application Process

Applicants who meet the eligibility requirements will be contacted by a member of our team to schedule an intake interview. During the interview, participants will be asked to show proof of their immigration status.
