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\n\n Work permit holders\n\n Study permit holders: You are an international post-secondary student with a valid study permit and cannot access similar services at your institution.\n\n Naturalized Canadian citizens: You have language barriers and need culturally appropriate services.\n\n Other immigration statuses:\n Refugee 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\n Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) visa holders.\n\n BC Provincial Nominees or BC PNP Entrepreneur Immigration candidates.
