9 Limita,ons Ø Data was collected from SPO representa'ves. Newcomers were not consulted. SPO s percep'on about those newcomers who access or look for services. Ø Recruitment challenges: due to limited SPO availability, only 1 par'cipant from Nunavut Immigra'on Se-lement Services and Gaps in the Western Region: Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut 9
10 Territorial Results All territories report an increase in newcomers Due to mainly economic opportuni'es, but also family reunifica'on. Yukon nominee program Ease of setlement Yukon and Nunavut reported se-lement as easy for newcomers Responses from NWT were mixed Se-ling in larger centers (e.g., Yellowknife) facilitates ease of se-lement Increased availability of services and poten'al presence of ethnocultural supports Immigra'on Se-lement Services and Gaps in the Western Region: Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut 10
11 Territorial Results Newcomer setlement hindered by: High cost of living Shortage of housing Language difficul'es Harsh climate Isolated geographic loca'on Immigra'on Se-lement Services and Gaps in the Western Region: Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut 11
12 Territorial Results Finding employment Majority of SPO reported newcomers could find work easily, however newcomers (especially those with language difficul'es) are oien under employed or in low paid posi'ons Cultural understanding of the Canadian workplace and expecta'ons needed With improved language skills and Canadian work experience newcomers can easily move into be-er roles Immigra'on Se-lement Services and Gaps in the Western Region: Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut 12
13 Territorial Findings Services most needed by newcomers (Needs were similar for newcomers either eligible or ineligible for CIC services) Language training and related supports Help finding housing and employment Informa'on and orienta'on on community and Canadian culture Help filing ci'zenship and permanent resident paperwork Immigra'on Se-lement Services and Gaps in the Western Region: Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut 13

15 SPO Organiza,onal Capaci,es Territorial Findings Yukon, Northwest Territories & Nunavut Meet repor,ng requirements Staff skills for delivery and maintenance of services Communica,on with stakeholders Coordina,ng services with other service providers Financial support to maintain current services from gov t sources Mobiliza,on of community to support and welcome newcomers Financial support to maintain current services from other sources Crea,on of governing and strategic plan Provide services in both official languages Staff to provide services Adequate Capacity 84.6% 76.9% 69.2% 69.2% 61.5% 61.5% 46.2% 46.2% 46.2% 46.2% Inadequate Capacity 15.4% 23.1% 30.8% 30.8% 38.5% 38.5% 53.8% 53.8% 53.8% 53.8% Immigra'on Se-lement Services and Gaps in the Western Region: Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut 15
16 Territorial Findings GAPS in services offered in the 3 Territories Lack of services that focus on integra'on (most services were focused on se-lement ac'vi'es) Expansion of services needed (both hours of offerings and into remote areas) Capacity to offer services in both official languages Support ci'zenship and permanent resident applica'ons Computer training Immigra'on Se-lement Services and Gaps in the Western Region: Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut 16
17 Territorial Findings Partnerships All SPOs reported working in partnership with someone in the community Employers An example of collabora've partnerships, The Immigra+on Strategy Working Group, in Yukon Immigra'on Se-lement Services and Gaps in the Western Region: Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut 17
18 Conclusion In light of harsh climate and limited funding and resources, all 3 territories are seeing growth in their newcomer popula'on This growth is projected to con'nue Newcomers can expect to se-le and find employment easily (at least entry level and low paid) Strong English language skills improves odds of both. Most significant need in all 3 territories was plen'ful and affordable housing Compounding effect: newcomer underemployment + high cost of living = newcomers working mul'ple jobs to cover housing costs Immigra'on Se-lement Services and Gaps in the Western Region: Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut 18
19 Conclusion Increase in English language supports is needed Funding is needed for integra'on support ac'vi'es Increase in funding overall in order to meet growing demand Immigra'on Se-lement Services and Gaps in the Western Region: Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut 19
