Case Management

One Voice provides and facilitates support for migrants, primarily students, who are victims of exploitation when it involves colleges, landlord, employers, sexual harassment/abuse or those in severe distress. The team helps students navigate through the bureaucratic processes to help them resolve issues. Specific supports provided include:

• emotional and practical support;
• helping individuals access counselling services, legal services, immigration services; and other resources such as settlement agencies
• supporting students through dispute resolution hearings

This includes but is not limited to; seminars or workshops with Options Community Services, an international student food drive during the Covid pandemic with the support of Guru Nanak’s Free Kitchen, another food drive with Khalsa Aid Canada towards the middle of the Pandemic.

Information Seminars & Events

One Voice takes part in information seminars in collaboration with other organizations to raise awareness among international students about key issues that include:
