The Waterloo Region Immigrant Survey is now open!

If you were born outside Canada, whether you are an immigrant, refugee, international student, claimant, or temporary worker, this is an important opportunity to share your experiences and help shape future services in our region.

Your feedback can help improve supports in areas such as:

  • Housing
  • Employment and education
  • Health and well-being
  • Belonging and community connection

The survey takes about 10–20 minutes
Deadline: May 31, 2026
Anonymous and voluntary

At GRFS, we believe that every voice matters. By sharing our experiences, we can help build a more welcoming, inclusive, and supportive Waterloo Region for everyone ????
