Key information
AIEM supports temporary workers with their settlement and integration steps in Quebec. Depending on your situation, you may receive information, orientation, and personalized support to understand your rights, access essential services, and, when possible, prepare the next steps of your journey, including permanent residence.
Reliable support from your arrival
Accueil aux immigrants de l’Est de Montréal (AIEM) is a community organization mandated by the ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI).
Our support services are part of a recognized government framework aimed at supporting the settlement and integration of immigrants in Quebec, while taking into account the specific realities of temporary workers.
If you hold a valid work permit, we help you review your situation, understand your options, and guide you toward the right services, based on your status and needs.
