28 Biggest Challenges Facing Refugees/Immigrants Verbatims Challenges Facing Refugees Challenges Facing Immigrants Failure to integrate with people living in the city. Too many want to turn their new home into the place they left. Dealing with mental health and loneliness issues. Learning to speak, read, and understand English. Learning that this is CANADA, not whatever country they left and that it is time to learn and adapt CANADIAN cultural norms. Finding affordable housing and finding employment that's above the minimum wage. People coming from such dissimilar countries, belief systems, experiences, governments and cultures may find learning our way of life hard work. Learning English is also hard work. Public perception that government shouldn't be spending money to bring them here. That they are stealing jobs from Canadians, racism, general ignorance about what refugees really are. Bias from existing citizens; language; ability to work. Understanding how to access services they need such as doctors, recreation opportunities and education. Integration, recognition of foreign credentials when getting jobs. Finding employment during tough economic times and a portion of locally born Albertans looking down on them due to language difficulties. Affordable housing, Education (learning English), Health care (finding a doctor). Learning English and learning our cultural nuances are probably the most difficulties immigrants will face.

30 Positive Things Brought by Refugees/Immigrants Verbatims Positive Things Brought by Refugees Positive Things Brought by Immigrants New ideas of how to deal with old problems, a willingness to work hard, an ability to see the opportunities and positives to life here. Different views, customs, practices, personal skills and abilities. A willingness to work hard, entrepreneurship, good food and festivals. Fulfilling staff shortage issues, contributing to the employment tax base, cultural diversity when restaurants are opened, cultural enrichment. I believe diversity is positive in that the world has become a smaller place and it is good for all to be aware of each other, build a respect for each other and empathy for those in need. A strong work ethic and survival skills. An appreciation for what we have in our city. Depending on the type of immigrants they are (skilled, unskilled, students, or family members of current Canadians), it can really vary. In the long term, and sometimes short term, immigrants can and usually do contribute to economic success. New insights and experiences. They broaden the horizons of those already living here. They make our community more vibrant and culturally different. Skill sets we may not have. New perspectives. Desire to make good, make a life. Their diverse cultures and ideas that they are willing to grow within our culture as Canadians. Base: Edmontonians (n=400) Italics denote verbatim responses New question in 2016 Q15b.
