La Coopérative d'intégration francophone de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard (CIFÎPÉ) provides programs and services to help French-speaking newcomers to establish themselves and to get involved in Prince Edward Island. CIFÎPÉ offers services such as orientation, language training, social integration, employment services and references to community resources.
