This webinar topic has been informed by a feedback survey conducted with the settlement and integration sector by the BC Refugee Hub. This webinar is suitable for those working in front-line positions, coordinators and managers at settlement service provider agencies, as well as community stakeholders who work with refugee claimants from the time they come to BC, during their claim process, when a claim decision is received an who are/become permanent residents (PRs). Note: Community stakeholders can include those working at: Municipal government, health authorities, school districts, post secondary institutions, police departments, etc.

We would like to gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Jobs, Trade and Technology.
