Immigrant and Refugee Health Coordinator
The Global Gathering Place · Saskatoon, SK

Jessa Pillipow

I took the N4 program as a way to deepen my knowledge of social and structural issues that affect newcomers to Canada and their settlement journey.

I have worked with newly-arrived refugees in two provinces and have recognized common threads that advance and complicate settlement, and I hoped this program would allow me to gain new insights into ways we can work together with newcomers to make their resettlement to Canada a smoother and more empowering experience. As a social worker, I had already gained knowledge of social systems that can impede empowerment and success for marginalized groups, but this program's specific focus on newcomers was welcome academic knowledge.

The most valuable thing I learned in the N4/Saint Paul University Online Program

I appreciated the opportunity to deepen my knowledge of structural issues by learning more theory that I wouldn't have had time to do so on my own. In addition, the ability to connect with other like-minded settlement workers and those working in other professions with newcomers across the country was inspiring. I feel as though I now have a virtual network of folks throughout Canada who I can connect with on specific issues.
