Allies in Refugee Integration Project: Focus Groups in Toronto, Ottawa and Kitchener

Refugee 613 in collaboration with the Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants (OCASI) are working together on the Allies in Refugee Integration Project.

The Allies in Refugee Integration Project is seeking to improve collaboration and teamwork between service providers and private sponsors.
We are looking for former privately-sponsored refugees, private refugee sponsors and settlement workers who work with privately sponsored refugees in Toronto, Ottawa and Kitchener.

We want to hear from you on of how settlement providers and private sponsors worked together to support refugee integration. What worked and what challenges were faced in connecting to services?
Come tell us your experiences at one of our focus groups.
