In 2017, British Columbia saw a 64% drop in the number of Government Assisted Refugee (GAR) arrivals in comparison to 2016. On the other hand, Settlement Orientation Services (based in Vancouver, B.C.) saw 76% increase in the number of Refugee Claimant arrivals to B.C. in 2017 compared to 2016. In terms of housing, 48% of GARs permanently reside in Surrey, with 17% residing in Burnaby in 2017 while 38% of Refugee Claimants found permanent or temporary housing in Vancouver, with the second top location being Surrey at 18%. Looking ahead, Canada’s Multi-Year Immigration Levels Plan shows an increase in the targeted number of Privately Sponsored Refugee arrivals, approximately exactly double the target in comparison to GARs for each year from 2018 to 2020.
