In March 2007, with the financial support of Citizenship and Immigration Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration, OCASI created Etablissement.Org, an information and referral French language website to help and address the needs of French-speaking newcomers (and potential newcomers) to Ontario.
Etablissement.Org offers French-speaking newcomers a whole range of trustworthy information and resources covering various topics such as Employment, Housing, Health care, Education of children and adult, French Services, Immigration and more. This information comes in the form of articles, links, news or events.
A Discussion Forum has been and is now very active and one of the most popular area of the site, as per Google statistics. It has now more than 300 registered members and the most popular topics are: permanent residency, sponsorship and employment/ professions.
Last year, our main focus was creating the new design for Etablissement.Org. Although the new plan and look are inspired from Settlement.Org, the New Etablissement.Org highlights the site‟s specific identity and mission of serving Francophone newcomers to Ontario. This was achieved by bringing up all content of interest to French-speaking newcomers on the home page and throughout all sections and sub-sections. Stay tuned up, the new version of the site will be released soon!
We also focused on introducing new content of interest to French newcomers or newcomers in general. Examples of new content include a tool for bilingual jobs in Ontario, articles on French schools, school boards, colleges and universities, a series of information and referral articles for people with disabilities and resources for elderly.
Etablissement.Org recorded last year about 92,000 visits coming mainly from Canada (about 50%) and France (about 20%).
In 2011-2012 we will keep adding new content and build a whole new section named «Vivre en français» (Living in French). So keep checking back!
Marketing strategies for 2011-2012 will target new francophone and bilingual organizations that serve Francophone newcomers in cities with significant francophone newcomer populations. While francophone community leaders will be engaged to be promoters of the website on their local levels, promotional tools will be increased both qualitatively and quantitatively. Provision will be made to use the social media for promotional purposes.
