SUMMARY:Intersectionality for a Diverse Society Workshop - BC NSP & Safe Haven
DESCRIPTION:Intersectionality is the idea that people have many different identities—such as culture\, language\, gender\, religion\, ability\, and immigration status—that can overlap and shape their experiences in society. These combined identities can influence the opportunities people have and the challenges they may face. In a diverse society\, understanding intersectionality helps us recognize that each person’s story is unique. It encourages empathy\, inclusion\, and fairness by reminding us to consider the different parts of people’s identities and experiences. \n\nEligibility Requirements: \n\nBC Provincial Nominees or BC PNP Entrepreneur Immigration candidates. \n\nWork permit holders \n\nStudy permit holders: You are an international post-secondary student with a valid study permit and cannot access similar services at your institution. \n\nNaturalized Canadian citizens: You have language barriers and need culturally appropriate services. \n\nOther immigration statuses: \n\nRefugee claimants: You have submitted a refugee claim and received any of the following documents: Confirmation of Referral letter (CoRL)\, Acknowledgement of Claim (AOC)\, Refugee Protection Claim Document (RPCD)\, or Client Application Summary. \n\nCanada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) visa holders.
