  • developing specific services to meet the local needs of migrants

Referring to a Migrant Resource Centre

When a Service Officer is unsure of how to refer a customer to their closest MRC or the particular services offered by the MRC in their area, contact should be made with a Multicultural Service Officer (MSO) to seek further clarification.
