# Muslim Malayalees Canada

Muslim Malayalees Canada connects Malayalee Muslim newcomers with established community organizations across Canada.

MMC started as what it still is at heart: city-based WhatsApp groups connecting Malayalee Muslims across the country. From its inception in 2014, members leaned on each other for the things that actually matter after you land — finding accommodation, job leads, immigration and visa questions, spiritual support, and honest answers from people who'd made the same move a few years earlier.

For a long time, that was the whole platform: real community, real support, entirely invisible to anyone not already inside a group. This website exists to change that. It's MMC's public presence — a way for any Malayalee Muslim in Canada, or anyone still back home planning to come, to find us before someone has to hand them a WhatsApp link.
