Info

Successful integration will require new and existing partnerships within all levels of government and among community stakeholders Although the research indicates immigrants in the long-term integrate successfully into our communities, they face many difficulties and barriers as part of their initial settlement experience. Enhancing existing and creating new partnerships within all levels of government and the community is critical. Equally important is working 41 Changing Landscapes: Recent Immigrants Living in York Region towards a welcoming and inclusive environment that supports the successful integration of newcomers to York Region. The combination of these efforts will help immigrants to reach their potential and improve their quality of life. It is hoped this report will increase public awareness and understanding about recent immigrants living in York Region, identify some of the barriers they face, and assist with program and service planning for recent immigrants through their pathway to integration.
Recommendations The goal of this socio-economic profile of recent immigrants is to provide an objective picture of this significant and growing part of York Region’s population. It is recommended that: 1. The Changing Landscapes report be shared widely with all partners, including the business community and Chambers of Commerce, to identify gaps and priorities, inform service delivery planning and design, and create a broadbased community funding advocacy for York Region’s settlement funding. 2. The Changing Landscapes report act as a resource for the Community Partnership Council and all community partners to implement the York Region Immigration Settlement Strategy and support the development of indicators and measures to monitor the community results. 3. Agencies and municipalities advocate for and work collaboratively to ensure that an emphasis is placed on integration efforts, as outlined in the York Region Immigration Settlement Strategy, particularly in the early years after immigration. 4. York Region continues to work collaboratively with the federal government and other partners to find reliable data sources to enable research work in this area to continue.
