Settlement and Newcomer Integration

The successful integration of newcomers in Canadian society depends upon the development and implementation of effective policy and programs aimed at supporting the social, economic and immediate settlement of newcomers. While failure to address economic conditions, cultural diversity and social inclusion may result in problems for society and for individuals, effective responses will stimulate growth and create opportunity.

PSTG has expertise in the area of immigration, settlement and newcomer integration. We are particularly passionate about supporting intergovernmental initiatives and bringing together various partners – all levels of government, regulatory bodies, associations, NGOs and other immigrant serving organizations, to create a seamless service delivery system and improve settlement and integration outcomes for immigrants and refugees.

PSTG has brought together a group of highly experienced consultants with diverse and complimentary backgrounds who are recognized as leaders in immigrant service delivery and consulting, and who offer strong strategic planning, policy development and operational expertise to our clients. We have a proven track record of work with Citizenship and Immigration Canada, the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration, the Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants and a broad range of Service Provider Organizations.
