Military families: services and support
Find services to help military families get settled in Ontario, including our assistance hotline, how to obtain a driver’s licence or health card, and information on vehicle registration, job opportunities, schools and more.
Supporting our veterans: find a job
We are committed to supporting Veterans by making it easier for them to access Ontario Public Service (OPS) job opportunities.
Resources
We are making it easier for Canadian Forces members and their families to get the government services and information they need when moving to Ontario.
Members of the Canadian Armed Forces are transferred three times more often throughout their careers than non-military Canadians, which can put added stress on them and their families.
