Paperwork that lives across borders, planned before it’s urgent.
Helg helps newcomers and immigrant families stay ahead of paperwork with long lead times — passport renewals, visa appointments, health cards, school registration. Each task gets a start-by date as well as a due date, and Helg Community has step-by-step checklists written by people who have already done them, which you can add to Helg in one go.
The start-by date is the one that matters
The next embassy slot is a month out; the translation takes two weeks; the courier takes six. Helg shows when a task has to get moving, not just when it’s due, so the renewal starts in April for a trip in July.
Checklists from people who’ve done it
Helg Community is a free, public library of step-by-step tasks — renewing an Indian passport in Canada, registering a newborn in Ontario, changing your address after a move — each with links to the official sites. Adding one to Helg asks the few details that depend on you and turns it into your own checklist.
