About MapleSteps

MapleSteps is a free, independent guide for newcomers to Canada, written in plain language and available in six languages.

Who we are

We are an independent website. We are not part of the Government of Canada or any immigration agency, and we do not give legal or immigration advice. For your own situation, contact a settlement agency or an authorized professional.

How the site is funded

MapleSteps is free because of advertising. Some pages may include affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend things we believe help newcomers.

Privacy

You don't need an account to use MapleSteps. Checklist ticks are saved only in your own browser. We may use third-party advertising and analytics services, including Google, which use cookies to show and measure ads. You can manage ad personalization in your Google ad settings.
