Who We Are
The True North Collective is a newsletter and events community built for newcomers to Canada — and for the Canadians who welcome them. We bring together helpful guides, curated Canadian news, exclusive deals, and real-life advice, all in one friendly place. Our mission is simple: to help our community live a successful, joyful life in Canada.
Moving to a new country is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. There's a lot to figure out — where to live, how things work, who to trust, and how to build a life that feels like home. That's where we come in. Think of us as the friend who already knows the ropes and is genuinely happy to show you around.
Why We Started The True North Collective
Canada welcomes hundreds of thousands of newcomers every year, and each one arrives with big hopes and plenty of questions. We noticed a gap: there wasn't one trusted, friendly space where newcomers could find practical tips, honest advice, and real savings, all created specifically with them in mind.
So we built one. The True North Collective combines a newsletter with live events to help newcomers and Canadians alike learn new skills, discover opportunities, and connect with a community that genuinely wants to see them thrive.
What We Believe In
Everything we do is guided by four core values:
Canada — We're proud of this country and want to help you feel proud to call it home too.
Inclusivity — Everyone belongs here, no matter where you started your journey.
Empathy — We remember that starting over takes courage, and we lead with kindness.
Joy — Settling in should feel exciting, not exhausting. We like to have fun along the way.
Our vision is to become the most admired brand for newcomers and Canadians who value inclusion and diversity — a place people trust, recommend, and look forward to hearing from every week.
What You Get as a Member
We keep things simple, valuable, and genuinely useful. As part of our community, you'll get:
Curated content from trusted Canadian sources — so you spend less time searching and more time doing.
Exclusive deals and discounts on products, services, and events you won't find anywhere else.
Expert advice on everything from renting your first apartment to understanding your rights as a tenant.
Weekly newsletters packed with practical guides, Canadian news summaries, money-saving tips, and a fun Canadian trivia question, with prizes along the way.
Access to members-only events, both free and paid, where you can meet other newcomers and Canadians building their lives together.
We only partner with Canadian-owned businesses whenever possible, because we believe in supporting the country that's welcoming you.
Who We're For
Whether you landed in Canada last week or you've been building your life here for a few years, you're welcome at The True North Collective. We're for anyone who wants to:
Learn how things work in Canada, from leases to laws to local customs
Save money through deals and discounts made just for our community
Meet other newcomers and Canadians in a warm, judgment-free space
Feel more confident navigating everyday life in a new country
You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need to be curious and open to learning — we'll take care of the rest.
Where We're Headed
We're just getting started, and we're building The True North Collective with our community, not just for it. Our goal is to grow into a truly national community, with local support in major cities across Canada and a network of hundreds of trusted partners offering real value to our members. As we grow, one thing won't change: our commitment to helping you live a better, more connected life in Canada.
