The ONE Hub aims to remove barriers to self-employment and to support the social and economic integration of current and aspiring entrepreneurial newcomers by providing them with training, business support, funding advice, networking and mentorship opportunities, and by connecting them with other key players within the ecosystem.

Why you should join?

We provide training, business coaching, mentorship, work shadowing, financial literacy support, in addition to our specialized workshops, alumni program and many networking opportunities. Our services will help newcomers learn about doing business in Canada and prepare them to become successful entrepreneurs. ONE Hub is a one-stop shop for aspiring entrepreneurial newcomers.

About Us
