Connect, learn, and collaborate
N4 is a national network for the diversity of providers who assist newcomers in navigating the complex Canadian healthcare and social service systems. We provide opportunities for professional development, education, virtual discussions, networking, and the sharing of data and resources. We aim to promote best practices in the field of newcomer navigation, with the ultimate goal of improving the experience of newcomers to Canada.
From 2019 – 2022, N4 successfully built a robust network of professionals from diverse sectors and geographies passionate about advancing health equity and improving their services to meet the needs of those newest to Canada. In April 2022, IRCC expanded N4's mandate to target inequities for newcomers in being optimally employed within healthcare, a key strategy in tackling Canada's health human resource crisis. N4 is currently leveraging its platform and tools to address the barriers for internationally educated health professionals (IEHPs) in being optimally employed.
To assure all stakeholders can benefit from N4, membership and access to our tools are fully sponsored by our funder and, therefore, free.
