In Canada, we have rightly taken a very broad-based community approach to settlement services. We have 700 service providers, which means we have service provision of various sorts not only in the metropolitan areas, but also in smaller communities. It is certainly more challenging in rural communities and very small towns to provide the full range of services that refugees in particular may need. That's why we don't generally resettle government-sponsored refugees in small communities.
We have 27 or 28 localities across Canada where we resettle government-assisted refugees, because we feel they can access—either through us or through the provinces—mental health supports, anti-family violence counselling, employment bridging, language training, and so forth, whatever they may need. Privately sponsored refugees go where the private sponsors live, and they have access to the community support and knowledge that their private sponsors bring to them, which overall produces even better settlement outcomes.
As for government-funded settlement services, it would be incorrect to say that they are as complete and as comprehensive in every small part of Canada. We are continuing to extend our reach through online-based language training and through rural strategies to link service providers in a region to each other, but it would be accurate to say that we still have work to do in that regard.
