REFUGEE REHABILITATION: NEED TO ENSURE A PEACEFUL SOCIETY 2
Introduction – Beginning Process
Canada has been in headlines all over the world for its humanitarian approach and
tradition towards the world and especially towards refugees. It has become the biggest hub to
welcome refugees following shared responsibilities in helping displaced, persecuted, and
needy people for protection. The country formed Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship
Canada (IRCC) in 1994 to handle responsibilities with immigrants to deal with the process, it
follows the principle of Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom to enforce immigration
policies and laws to preserve human rights (Boyd, 2016; Berhane & Tyyskä, 2017). It works
under several acts, namely,
- Canadian Multiculturalism Act
- Canadian Passport Order
- Citizenship Act
- Department of Citizenship and Immigration Act
- Financial Administration Act
- Immigration and Refugee Protection Act
- Revolving Fund Act
- User Fees Act
According to Data extracted from 2016 Census Statistics, approximately 21.9% of the
Canadian Population were reported as Immigrants. In 2017, the Immigration Minister of Canada,
Ahmed Hussein determined that there would be approximately 1 million permanent residents and
it will increase to three years increasing from 0.7% to 1% in 2020. Analysts have classified the
immigration into three categories – short term, medium term, and long term. These terms have
different features. Therefore, the reflective paper is focused on using different sociological

REFUGEE REHABILITATION: NEED TO ENSURE A PEACEFUL SOCIETY 3
concepts and theories to generate sustainable solutions in pressing local and global problems.
Further parts of the paper are focused on different theories, concepts, individual experiences,
service outcomes, designs, and others to shape the research in the right direction for future
(Beiser & Hou, 2016; Boyd, 2016).
Discussion
Sociology Knowledge
Modern sociology theories are focused on a different scenario in learning about social
issues and planning for long term strategies in setting social dynamics based on ethnicity in the
American and international society. In shaping the sociological setting, it is important for
sociologists to work on different theories on segmented assimilation to work on ethnic
boundaries and communities’, spatial assimilation, and social networks. However, sociology
theory works in two ways, the two dimensions of the social immigration theory are focused on
two dimensions to accelerate the integration process and gain success in this regards (Badali,
Grande, & Mardikian, 2017). These include,
- The structure for the policy work on a different level in society so that it can facilitate the
integration of processes and legal structure
- It works on the absence of interethnic contacts in different areas, for example, local,
workplace, and others.
Using this sociological perspective, the analysts are able to work on de facto integration
of practices being translated into integration process in extracting its required outcomes or
process that will be in focus of the future research (Badali, Grande, & Mardikian, 2017).

Experiences
It has been found that the experiences associated with political and security situation are
intended to be destination associated following the freedom of movement amnesties. It
determines that the state is efficient enough to protect women, children, minorities, and other
vulnerable groups for example refugees. While researching for this study, I have looked through
a number of researches in order to make sure that enough data is collected to give both positive
and negative feedbacks regarding refugee rehabilitation (Hurly, 2019). Following the realistic
assessment based on the political and economic development of Canada before and after it
started encouraging refugee affiliation to work on displaced population informed in planning
return assistance and settle the refugees in the region. There have been a number of researches
carried out in this regard, so data collection is not an issue for this research, up till now the
experience has been exceptional, yet time-consuming to collect for relevant data sources (Dorn
& Libben, 2018).
Service Outcomes
Refugees are also immigrants following the legal and structured process to move from
one country to another. However, in the case of refugees, they are defined as forced immigrants
who move from their country due to security risk or another serious issue. It is important to study
refugee settlement because there are 21.3 million refugees across the world as calculated in 2016,
among whose, half of them are minors (below 18 years) (Hurly, 2019). The pressure over
UNHCR projects area is increasing, and in future, it will increase to a height. Therefore,
countries like Canada are required to increase their annual commitment to control the global
refugee population. Canada has increased its annual intake of refugees to meet their global
initiatives, but the internal pressure of the government is increasing continuously. Hence the

REFUGEE REHABILITATION: NEED TO ENSURE A PEACEFUL SOCIETY 5
region is required to plan a resource initiative plan to control the pressure and achieve their
targets successfully (Beiser & Hou, 2016).
Design
Following the research design, quantitative data collection has been taken into
consideration in collecting the data and shaping the research in the right direction. For researches
like this, the data collection and analysis process is very important. Hence, it is using secondary
data collection to formulate perspective. It will focus on assessing the statistics and facts to
determine the initiatives taken by the Canadian government in the resettlement of refugees and
managing the internal pressure. The selection of secondary data is based on journal articles,
Government documents, books, and any types of article that has been taken into consideration by
other researchers in forming a focus (Beiser & Hou, 2016).
Sociological Concepts and paradigms
There are theories working with sociology concepts in migration to study the refugee
settlement from a different perspective for example political, social, and economic scenario. This
helps the researcher to work on mutual engagement in excavating the constructive refugee
category to assume the shape contemporary dispute in forming perspective using mutual research
tools. It works on the scale of the refugee crisis to work on policy response and research tool
(Boyd, 2016). These have worked on existing theories to work on household economy
approaches to explain if refugee decision-making processes are handled around the world in
evaluating the mobility perspective in sociology perspective. This can support research to work
on decision-making tools in forming a perception about the measures that can be taken into
consideration in forming collective outcomes. Hence, the focus of the research will go through

REFUGEE REHABILITATION: NEED TO ENSURE A PEACEFUL SOCIETY 6
discussing different tools and researches to understand how local and international pressure can
be achieved successfully (Badali, Grande, & Mardikian, 2017).
Conclusion
To conclude, it can be said that the refugee crisis is one of the most important issues
around the world, developed countries are expected to intake a particular amount of refugees
under their system/state with a promise of the good life and better opportunities. Canada has
gained a reputation to support these refugees, the report has discussed that there have been legal
upgrades and amendment to welcome these refugees, however, the government has faced an
immense amount of pressure from its locals as they think that it is increasing pressure on the
Canadian Economy, hence it has been in fluctuating situation. The focus on further research is
based on researching these perspectives – social, economic, and political perspective to shape the
research. The research will be supported with evidence to form perspective and conclude the
paper on suitable pointers.
