Immigrant Survey
Because Your Story Counts!
The Immigrant Survey is for all immigrants in Unama’ki-Cape Breton who are age 16 or older. This includes anyone born outside of Canada who is now living, working or studying on the island (permanent residents, Canadian citizens, refugees, temporary residents, refugee claimants, and international students). The survey seeks to hear directly from immigrants about their experiences, challenges, diverse strengths they bring and contribute, as well as their suggestions for how to improve newcomer settlement and inclusion in Unama’ki – Cape Breton.
The survey will be open from March 4th to March 25th and is estimated to take about 20 minutes to complete.
Please encourage your family, friends and co-workers to fill out the survey. We hope to hear the perspectives of at least 300 people.
By filling out this survey, anyone who was born outside of Canada and now lives in Unama’ki-Cape Breton can:
- Inform community planning for how to better support immigrants and refugees to succeed
- Share feedback with the member organizations of the Cape Breton Local Immigration Partnership (CBLIP) to improve the ways they are working with newcomers
- Be entered into a draw to win one of three $50 gift certificates from the Cape Breton Food Hub.
If you have questions or you would prefer to respond in another language or by phone, please contact Kailea Pedley (CBLIP Program Manager, Cape Breton Partnership) at kailea@capebretonpartnership.com or call 902 258 7331. More information about the survey and a consent letter is available here.
Many thanks to all participants for sharing their experiences, perspectives, and ideas for fostering welcoming and inclusive communities.
