The Rural and Northern\u00a0Immigration Pilot is a community-driven program that is specifically designed to spread the\u00a0benefits of immigration to smaller communities, such as North Bay and Timmins (Ontario)\u00a0(Immigrate to Canada, n.s.). There can be advantages for immigrants who settle in small- to midsize\u00a0urban centres, such as North Bay and Timmins due to access to more affordable living.\u00a0There are also advantages for small- to mid-size urban centres, such as North Bay and Timmins,\u00a0which are able to attract and retain immigrants. Access to acceptable housing is a key\u00a0characteristic of a welcoming community and neighbourhood characteristics shape opportunities\u00a0for newcomers. Understanding how welcoming these communities are is important to\u00a0understanding the geographic dispersal of immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>The objectives of our research project were three-fold. First, we examined those community housing characteristics identified by recent newcomers that facilitate or hinder their\u00a0integration into the North Bay and Timmins communities. Second, we examined the\u00a0neighbouring behaviours and interactions of recent newcomers in North Bay and Timmins areas\u00a0and their perceptions of their neighbourhoods. Finally, we examined the marketing efforts of the\u00a0settlement agencies and municipal agencies in order to foster welcoming neighbourhoods and to\u00a0create a sense of community for newcomers.<\/p>\n","remove_heading_underline":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":5119,"en_label":"In Search of Welcoming Neighbourhoods and Adequate Housing","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/p2pcanada.truemarket.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/toolkits-reports\/5118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/p2pcanada.truemarket.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/toolkits-reports"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/p2pcanada.truemarket.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/toolkits-reports"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/p2pcanada.truemarket.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"toolkits-reports-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/p2pcanada.truemarket.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/toolkits-reports-category?post=5118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
