Immigrant Survey

Because Your Story Counts!

The Unama’ki – Cape Breton Immigrant Survey is a biannual survey for immigrants, refugees, claimants, international students, temporary workers, and their families to share their experiences of living on the island. The survey seeks to hear directly from immigrants about their experiences, challenges, and diverse strengths they bring and contribute, as well as their suggestions for how to improve newcomer settlement and inclusion in Unama’ki-Cape Breton.

In the 2023 Immigrant Survey, we heard from over 200 individuals. Many thanks to all participants for sharing their experiences, perspectives, and ideas for fostering welcoming and inclusive communities.
