About Settle Well
Digital platform designed to support immigrants in Canada as they navigate the challenges of settling into a new country. We bring together essential information, trusted resources, and personalized recommendations to help newcomers build a sense of belonging and well-being. Whether it’s finding housing, accessing healthcare, understanding local culture, or connecting with community networks, Settle Well simplifies the journey of integration. Our solution empowers individuals to thrive, not just survive, in their new home.
Our Journey
Our initiative was born from a shared vision between our co-founders during the Spring 2024 cohort of the QcSE program. It started as a social innovation aimed at supporting immigrants in Canada. What began as a simple idea to facilitate the settlement experience has now evolved into a growing initiative, bolstered by mentorship, validation, and a commitment to continuous learning. Today, with the guidance and support of the District 3 Innovation Center, we are refining our solution, expanding our network, and working towards making a meaningful impact in the lives of newcomers across Canada.

Mission
Our mission is to empower immigrants in Canada to build fulfilling lives by easing their transition into a new environment. We aim to bridge information gaps, reduce social vulnerabilities, and promote mental well-being through accessible, reliable, and personalized support. By connecting newcomers with the right resources and communities, we strive to foster inclusion, resilience, and a strong sense of belonging from the very first steps of their settlement journey.
Vision
Envisions a Canada where every immigrant feels supported, connected, and confident in their new beginning. We aspire to create an inclusive digital ecosystem that transforms the settlement experience, one that not only meets practical needs but also nurtures emotional well-being and community belonging. Through innovation and collaboration, we aim to redefine how newcomers integrate, ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to truly settle well and contribute meaningfully to society.
