Empowering Sri Lankan

Immigrants in Canada

Our goal is to offer them tailored resources, practical advice, and critical awareness to prepare them for their transition and integration into Canadian life.

About Sihina Canada

SihinaCanada was founded after I faced challenges and disinformation upon arriving in Canada. My aim is to educate and raise awareness to prevent the Sri Lankan community from experiencing the same hardships and financial losses.

We are not IRCC or lawyers in Canada. We are immigrants, just like you, who came to Canada. Our mission is to help others achieve their dreams.
