Read a new report from ISSofBC and York University’s Syria Integration and Long-term Health Outcomes (SyRIA.th) project.
Through repeated in-depth interviews with over 200 Syrian resettled refugees living in BC, the report tracks the changes along the refugees’ integration journey from 2017-2020.
The report shows that refugees face a variety of inter-related challenges and barriers, especially women, that hinder their ability to thrive in Canada.
Therefore, the research has a number of recommendations to support refugee mental health and address gender imbalances in outcomes among women refugees.
If you’re a newcomer to Canada, we can support you with free services including settlement support, career and employment programs, English classes, and refugee services.
