Disparities in Settlement and Integration of Racialized Newcomers in Atlantic Canada: Lived Experiences, Root Causes, and Effective Remedies

There is a wide range of ways this project can contribute: from highlighting the lessons of history through literature review to amplifying marginalized voices in the community and investigating causes, channels, and consequences of such discrimination in accessing settlement services, to exploring the best possible anti-discrimination policies and practices, to developing a culturally and racially responsive settlement service delivery model in Atlantic Canada, which will improve racialized immigrants’ integration performance and maximize their human capital and contribution to the community.
The results of this study will help understand the settlement needs of immigrants in the Atlantic Canada’s labour market, which will provide a reference for the partner organization’s employment support programs for immigrants. This, in turn, will assist employers in the region to achieve the goal of a more welcoming and diverse workplace.
