I've engaged with a number of different refugees who have migrated to Canada and sought safety here. They are safe here after the very difficult conditions they fled from in other countries, be they conflict or the potential threat of being deported to great oppression.
I've noticed that there are two different stories. I've seen the one you just said, which is that supports are given by the federal government to people who land here, and within one year, they end up landing on their feet, getting jobs and contributing to society. I've also seen another story, in which supports aren't given. People are dazed and confused, unable to land on their feet. Oftentimes, they say, “I don't know how I can integrate here. I might need to go back to a place that is not as safe.”
Have you seen those two stories in your work experience?
