Polycultural Immigrant and Community Services

Polycultural Immigrant and Community Services Growing with Canada 🇨🇦 Our mandate was specific and clear – to support immigrants and their families.

Our history, as a non-profit community-based organization, dates back to 1973 when we emerged as Polish Immigrant Aid Services-Toronto (PIAST) to respond to the needs of the local Polish community. In 1993, to keep up with the growing demand of servicing these groups, PIAST merged with Polish Community Social Services (PCSS) under the name of Polish Immigrant and Community Services. The name was l

ater changed in 2000 to Polycultural Immigrant and Community Services, to better reflect the cultural and language diversity of the clients now being served. Today, Polycultural is an inclusive and service-focused organization that prides itself in working with all immigrant communities across the Greater Toronto Area. The organization has expanded to the point that it serves clients in over 40 different languages in our six locations across the GTA. Adopting a holistic approach to the needs of immigrants and their families, our programs encompass orientation, education, employment and family support services. Our knowledgeable settlement workers are accessible at all six sites and are there to help assess the individual needs of every client as well as connect them to the right programs offered by Polycultural or other community services –all in a private and confidential setting.

Polycultural at the Peel Summer Homelessness Collaboration Event

Our Polycultural management team was pleased to attend the Peel Summer Homelessness Information Sharing and Collaboration session on May 25, 2026.

A sincere thank you to the Region of Peel for bringing together service providers and partners to strengthen collaboration and collective impact in addressing homelessness in our communities. We found the presentations on the Brampton HART Hub, Women Veterans, and Income and Social Supports both insightful and inspiring, highlighting innovative approaches and critical supports that make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

Events like this reinforce the importance of cross-sector collaboration, knowledge sharing, and coordinated responses to better serve individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness. We look forward to continuing these conversations and strengthening partnerships to support our communities.

Meet Nita: Front-Row Dancer and Seniors Hub Member.


After losing her driver’s license due to a visual impairment in 2020, Nita was looking for a way to stay active and connected. She needed a community that was both accessible and welcoming.

At Polycultural, Nita found her rhythm again in our line dancing classes. The supportive environment allows her to follow the group’s movements with confidence, boosting her spirit and providing a true sense of belonging.

Today, Nita dances right in the front row, a testament to the inclusive atmosphere created by our staff and her fellow seniors.
