영문 초록

Immigrant and refugee-serving non-governmental organizations have developed a set of practices to support the settlement and integration in Canada of people born abroad. Such practices include direct services, from information and referrals to enhancing immigrant civic engagement, as well as efforts aimed at educating the general public about immigration and diversity issues, and advocacy for immigrant and refugee rights before all levels of government. The immigrant and refugee-serving sector considers it important to look at Canadian multiculturalism policy from an anti- racist and anti-oppression perspective if full and fair participation is to be achieved for immigrants and refugees in all aspects of Canadian life.
