The Afghan refugee crisis has been taking place for just over 6 months, and professionals from the health, social service, and settlement sectors across Canada continue to welcome increased numbers of Afghan refugees.
N4 has compiled a list of resources, available on the N4 platform and externally, to further support Afghan refugee resettlement in Canada (register for free N4 membership to access all these resources):
- N4’s panel discussion, “Navigating the 2021 Afghan Refugee Crisis”: in this webinar recording from January 2022, newcomer-serving professionals share key takeaways and practical tips on leveraging the lessons from the Syrian refugee settlement efforts to ensure equitable access and experiences for Afghan refugees.
- Curated resources in N4’s Resource Toolkit
- IRCC’s key figures of Afghans resettled in Canada to date, with a tool to sort by location
Stay tuned for:
- Recordings of two sessions from the March 2022 N4 conference: “Afghan Refugee Resettlement - What Are We Learning So Far?” by professionals with firsthand experience of the Afghan refugee resettlement efforts in Canada, and “The IRCC Afghanistan Resettlement Initiative,” where IRCC shared about its resettlement initiative. Recordings are currently available to conference attendees on the virtual event platform, and will be made available to all N4 members in April.
- Afghan Resettlement Efforts Toolkit: Compiled by a multi-sectoral working group convened by N4 and hosted on the N4 website, with resources to meet the needs of providers in healthcare, settlement, education and other newcomer-serving sectors.
