Newcomers to Canada, whether they come from a refugee background or not, face many barriers to their integration. 

This campaign aims to reduce these barriers faced by newcomers when arriving to Canada, by deconstructing negative narratives and misunderstandings about refugees and newcomers to Canada with the objective of building more welcoming and inclusive communities for all newcomers.

Read Chapter 12 (page 102) of the SRP Guide to learn more about the barriers that newcomers to Canada face and how you can effectively engage the public on refugee issues.
