Alberta Settlement Outcomes Survey
This report describes the results of a telephone survey conducted in 2012 of recent immigrants to Alberta concerning their experiences with settlement services in the province, their information needs, and their economic and social integration outcomes. The goal was to provide an evidence-base to guide decisions about the scope and character of future settlement services in Alberta.
The respondents were 1006 immigrants in Alberta, 18 years of age and over, who had lived in the province 3-60 months. The sample size provided a margin of error of +/-3% and a confidence level of 95%. Potential participants were identified and contacted using a data file provided by Citizenship and Immigrant Canada of all landings in the previous five years who had indicated that they intended to reside in Alberta at the time of landing. A random sample of these potential participants was then contacted.
Results of the survey are discussed in the report.
