Identifying Best Practices in Combatting Discrimination in the Settlement Process

This research project, conducted by the Association for Canadian Studies and funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), aims to inform and improve the settlement process by identifying barriers related to racism and discrimination. The study addresses barriers to integration related to discrimination when accessing settlement services. The primary objectives are to generate best practices, identify valuable lessons, and promote positive changes within the settlement sector concerning anti-discrimination and anti-racism efforts. Utilizing qualitative research methods, the project explores the challenges faced by racialized newcomers regarding systemic racism, discrimination, and service accessibility. The research provides insights into the lived experiences of these newcomers, highlighting both systemic barriers and effective practices within the settlement sector. The project aims to enhance the settlement sector's ability to assess and address the obstacles faced by racialized newcomers during their integration process. The findings offer key insights and recommendations for effective programming and policy development related to anti-discrimination and anti-racism. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure the best possible integration outcomes for racialized immigrants and refugees, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment.
