Refugee Settlement

The settlement process is particularly challenging for newcomer refugees with disabilities. This is because our communities and workplaces often have barriers that make things more complex for people with disabilities. Learning to welcome and serve them is an ongoing process.

Migrant, asylum seeker, refugee… These words each have their own specific definitions but are sometimes used incorrectly.

The Resettlement Assistance Program (RAP) is a federal government initiative that helps refugee newcomers settle and integrate into Canada.
