The study investigates whether artificial‑intelligence (AI) tools can help Canadian settlement agencies deliver higher‑quality employment services to refugee clients, moving them from “survival” jobs toward work that matches their prior qualifications.

These recordings are from the Toronto Public Library's October 2025 Digital Expo - Bridging the AI Divide. This event brought together industry leaders and local agencies to discuss responsible technology use, privacy and online safety, digital citizenship and innovation in the age of AI.

Apparently, this survey may close tonight so here it is with some comments from me. Context? From IRCC's slide deck: "The purpose of this presentation is to solicit your early thoughts and co-generate ideas about how we can adapt the Settlement and Resettlement Programs to better suit the needs of clients over the next few years in a context of reduced funding and lower immigration levels."
