First Contact Vancouver - Refugee Settlement Services
Immigrant and Refugee Services
Provided by Canadian Red Cross
This program helps newcomers to Canada find resources.
Many refugee claimants arrive in Canada with minimal resources and face the daunting reality of being homeless. With little knowledge of the services that can provide help and no one they can really trust, they are extremely vulnerable. The Red Cross First Contact program aims to provide these refugee claimants with the tools that will help prevent marginalization, distress and exploitation.
Refugee claimants arriving in Vancouver can access information and referral services by dialing 2-1-1 on their phones, or by visiting www.bc211.ca.
