Research, Webinars, Best Practices, and Programs
Settlement Challenges of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Immigrants and Refugees; Issue 18
In July 2005, Canada became the fourth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide. Canada is generally considered to be a “safe” country for sexual minority groups, however the needs of LGBT immigrants and refugees are often overlooked. This issue of Migration Matters reviewed the common settlement barriers and services available for these groups.
LGBTQ+ Newcomers Program
This service is oriented toward landed immigrants and permanent residents. LGBTQ+ immigrants may feel a sense of isolation and do not have social networks to help set them up in a new city when coming to Canada. Sometimes, LGBTQ+ people are fleeing extreme levels of persecution, have often experienced traumatic situations, and have virtually no one in Canada that they can be open with about their sexual orientation or gender identity.
