I don’t know about immigrants from other countries because I don’t have the statistics on that from Citizenship and Immigration Canada. In any event, last year, between 20 and 23 people used our service. Many of them stayed, but since we conduct follow-ups about every six months, it is a little bit difficult to know at that point whether these people have stayed or gone.
We therefore need to keep better track of statistics. Our service is young; it’s only two years old. We want to set up committees throughout the territories so that we can really promote the Northwest Territories and all the communities.
We’re just a service point. We simply refer folks to other services in areas such as health care, youth, and the francophone school board. Ours is truly a referral service.
