This edition of the Seeking Refuge Bulletin covers the following topics:

• The expansion of the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) was recently announced to help employers hire and to provide another opportunity for skilled refugees and other displaced individuals to come to Canada.
• Getting a driver’s license is an important step for many newcomers including Ukrainians and resettled refugees coming to Canada, as it provides them with a sense of independence and mobility.
• Through AMSSA’s BC Refugee Resource Network (BCRRN) initiative consultations, it was identified that while there are many people who continue to support resettled refugees and displaced Ukrainians in their settlement in Canada, there are also those who prey on these newcomers’ vulnerability as they adjust to their new circumstances.
