Government of Canada announcement (Sept 9, 2026) of free AI literacy learning with Amii in three streams: a free three-hour course for post-secondary students at participating schools, openly available K-12 educator chapters from Sept 21, 2026, and a course for all Canadians via community partners later in 2026.
Why I recommend it: This is the launch news release, so it describes plans and goals, not results yet. The student course only reaches you if your school joins; the version for the general public comes through local organizations first. Job seekers can already find short AI courses through Job Bank Training Finder.

digitalrecoverycentre.orgOrganizationTechnology & Ethics
A Canadian non-profit offering free, structured support for people and families harmed by social media and heavy online life — compulsive screen use, comparison culture, distress after posting or after deleting accounts, financial fallout, and difficulty leaving platforms. Peer-led and recovery-oriented, delivered virtually across Canada. Founded by Kayleigh Robertson.
Why I recommend it: Free, and it says so plainly: all services free, virtual, Canada-wide, currently accepting clients through an intake form. Two honest limits — it is Canada-only, and it is peer-led support grounded in lived experience and emerging research, not clinical treatment, so it sits alongside a doctor or therapist rather than replacing one. Worth knowing if the job hunt itself is what has you stuck online all day.

mila.quebecOrganizationTechnology & Ethics
Montreal research institute founded by Yoshua Bengio: publications, research teams, and programs for students and visiting researchers.
From the site: Mila is a Montreal-based artificial intelligence research institute that brings together researchers from Université de Montréal, McGill University, Polytechnique Montréal and HEC Montréal.
Why I recommend it: Check the students and programs pages if you want to move toward research work. Academic institutes publish their entry routes more openly than companies do.

Free business plan, marketing plan, and financial templates plus a self-paced learning center from Canada's business development bank.
In plain terms: This website offers free downloadable templates and calculators to help you start and run a business. You can use them to write business plans, forecast finances, create workplace policies, and prepare hiring documents.
Why I recommend it: Canadian source, but the financial templates work anywhere.
