University Of B.C. Dept: The study, led by researcher Daniel Hiebert, looked at 600 immigrants and refugees across the country, according to CBC. Maybe it's a two-bedroom apartment and they've got five kids. And there's nowhere for those kids to quietly study English, because the place is just buzzing, said Hiebert and new research out of the University of B.C. suggests it's more difficult for newcomers to Canada to find affordable housing, especially in big and expensive cities like Vancouver. It found that a refugee living in Vancouver is often putting more than half their income towards an overcrowded home. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
