Every newcomer’s journey, in one calm place

Cairn brings intake, cases, language classes and IRCC reporting together, so your staff spend less time on paperwork and more time with clients.

Cairn’s Today page for a caseworker: three sessions on the schedule, tasks overdue or due today, a referral waiting and cases that need attention.

Settlement work deserves better than spreadsheets

Without Cairn

  • Intake forms in one place, case notes in another, class lists in a spreadsheet.
  • The same family’s details typed into every system.
  • A scramble every quarter to get iCARE right.

With Cairn

  • One file for each family, shared by every program.
  • Enter it once and every team sees it.
  • iCARE builds from the work you already record.

What Cairn does

Welcome

Applications in the language people read best

Newcomers apply from home on a phone, in any of 31 languages. You review, match and accept them in one queue.

  • A public form your agency shapes
  • Possible duplicates flagged before you accept
  • See how long each person has waited
More on online applications
The applications queue: eight open applications with how long each has waited, one name in Arabic script and two flagged as possible matches.

Know the family

Everything about a family, on one page

Contact details, family members, needs, documents, cases and notes, so whoever picks up the file knows the story.

  • Family members linked to the client
  • Case notes with follow-ups
  • Restricted records only the right people open

Made for the people who welcome newcomers

Made for long days, and for trust

  • Access you control

    Roles and programs decide who sees what. Restricted records stay restricted.

  • Every change kept

    Records keep their history, so you can see who changed what and when.

  • Quick for people who use it all day

    Search everything, keyboard shortcuts, and screens that work on a phone.
