Oh damn, I totally read your question wrong. I don't know why looking back at it, but I thought you had asked for helping people specifically once they were here instead of before they got here. Sorry!

You can search under the social services or public benefit categories on canadahelps.org

There are lots of organizations that do various types of work for new Canadians.

Try this to find one in your area: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/explore/charities/category/social-services/sub-category/new-to-canada/

I personally know of MOSAIC in Vancouver that helps immigrants, refugees and other people new to Canada with navigating the quirks of coming here. That includes helping people find work and learn English, among many other things.

Many organizations are faith-based, but I haven't really explored that. I do know many of them don't care what the faith the people they are helping follow.

On a more general note, organizations like the Red Cross will often step in to help refugees, though usually only for a very short (emergency) time.

Good luck, and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. I might be able to help.

That's a really shitty statement.

We had Target for just over a year. They opened a bunch of stores and crashed and burned because the prices and experience weren't even comparable to what they had in the US. It's now a case study in how not to expand your business.

You don't hear it, you smell it.

I was just giving some info... I'm not saying they're fake or anything. I actually found it quite interesting to have the Ecuadorian versions of the coins.

These are legal U.S. tender, minted in the U.S. Not common in the U.S. but still valid.

Pay attention to your other coins though. Ecuador does mint its own coins that match the American ones identically (1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 centavos) and also has some older 1 sucre coins that match these 1 dollar coins. Those would not be legal tender in the U.S., I'm pretty sure.

[sorry for the wall of text rant below, I know this is just a comic we're talking about here lol]

At least in Canada I know this is one of the most important annual campaigns for non-profits to bring in operating funds.

And, the Walmarts (for example) that have a manager that are into the fundraising bring in way more than the ones where the manager doesn't care... Mostly because the cashier asking greatly increases the amount of donations.

I get that the business doesn't do it out of the goodness of its non-existent, corporate heart - and gets tax breaks or whatever - but it really does help the non-profits.

If I had my own comic strip, I'd do a rebuttal:

Cell 1: person standing at cash, cashier says, "would you like to donate to non-profit organization ABC today?"

Cell 2: person rants: "you know, this is what's wrong with the world today. Faceless corporations are acting like charities and taking more of our hard-earned money so they can get tax breaks and not actually contribute anything to society. I'll donate at home and get the tax break myself, thank-you-very-much!" cashier: "uh huh, that'll be $23.45"

Cell 3: [6 months later] person sitting at a desk: "alright, tax time, just gotta fill out these forms. Donations? Right, donations, donations... Hmm..."

Cell 4: [shows tax form with a prominent field of "Donations" and a big "$0"]

Totally jawesome! https://youtu.be/vMVMQa39BAU

Small government and freedom, right?

We'd prefer California. We already have enough Minnesota, donchaknow.
