HIPC releases the results of Hamilton's first-ever Immigrant Survey. This initiative was carried out as part of a collaborative effort among Local Immigration Partnerships (LIPs) across Canada (led by Waterloo Region Local Immigration Partnership) to conduct a large survey of immigrants and newcomers in our communities. Our goal was simple: to better understand the needs and experiences of immigrants in order to enable community partners to better support their settlement.
Close to 700 survey participants responded to questions about their experiences with housing, income, employment, service use, settlement supports, belonging/isolation, and discrimination. They also shared ways that they contribute to life in Hamilton, expressed their greatest challenges, and made various recommendations to improve future settlement experiences.
A huge thank you to our HIPC staff, community partners, community ambassadors and survey respondents! We could not have done it without you.
Beginning on November 8, we will be releasing key findings from our survey across our social media platforms. Stay tuned each Wednesday as we share the experiences of immigrants living in Hamilton.
Our full report is now live on our website, click here to read it now.
