Social assistance receipt among refugee claimants in Canada [electronic resource] / by Yuqian Lu, Marc Frenette and Grant Schellenberg. [Ottawa] : Statistics Canada, c2015. 7 p. : graphs, tables. Economic insights, 1927-503X ; No. 051 Issued also in French under title: Prestations d’aide sociale chez les demandeurs du statut de réfugié au Canada. "Release date: October 15, 2015." Includes bibliographical references. This article presents information about the receipt of social assistance by refugee claimants who initiated their claim for protection during the 1999-to-2010 period. Until now, no data source has been able to supply information on social assistance receipt among the refugee claimant population. Most refugee claimants could be linked to tax data and social assistance records and then grouped into families (social assistance eligibility is determined at the family level). The study examines: (1) the percentage of refugee claimants who received social assistance; (2) the incidence of social assistance receipt by province of residence, country of citizenship, and family characteristics; (3) the evolution of social assistance receipt with time spent in Canada; and (4) expenditures on social assistance paid to refugee claimants. gccst Refugees gccst Social assistance gccst Statistics Frenette, Marc.
