We achieved fantastic milestones this year andcould not have done it without the support of our members and community. The hard work, dedication andcommitment shown by the Board Members, VAT staff and volunteers have reiterated how generous, passionateand devoted they are in providing great services, knowledge and enthusiasm. With the youngest group of BoardMembers formed in recent years, together we experienced many challenges and obstacles that provided uslearnings to reach for higher goals and objectives in the future.

VAT’S SETTLEMENT SERVICES - DỊCH VỤ ĐỊNH CƯ DI DÂN TẠI HNVVAT settlement counsellors servenewcomers under the funding ofCitizenship and Immigration Canada.Programsincludeone-on-onecounseling and monthly workshopson various topics such asemploymentassistanceandCitizenship Preparation Class.In the last fiscal year, VAT served5,623 client visits and organized 251workshops, information sessions andclasses. VAT staff has helped manypeople adapt to their newenvironment and found jobs suitabletotheirqualificationandexperiences. While the statistics weprovided are useful to indicate theamount of work we have performed,they do not let us feel the impact. To illustrate our help to the newcomers, we would like to provide an example.Mr. & Mrs. Mai Thanh (name used with permission) become VAT's clients since they were still in Viet Namand knew that they were going to immigrate to Canada. They knew VAT's settlement services through theirfriends and contacted VAT settlement worker for initial help in preparation for their voyage. We reminded themthings that they could easily overlook during their preparation, such as school records of their children. Thenafter they arrived in Canada in June 2011, we assisted them with applying for their essential identificationdocuments. We also helped their children regarding Canadian school system to ensure they could continue theireducation immediately. Within one month, we helped Mr. Thanh get a job at one property managementcompany as maintenance worker. The family felt much relief after getting the job because it helped them a lotduring the most difficult time for a new immigrant. However, Mr. Thanh had a university degree in engineeringand was a manager in Vietnam and came to Canada under the skilled worker category. He told us he would liketo find some work more comparable with his education and experience. After several follow-up conversationswith Mr. Thanh, we noticed that his English was getting better, and with his background deserved a higher-paidposition. We assisted him to build a good resume and a cover letter to send out to other building managementcompanies. We also guided him on providing good responses to job interview questions. As a result, Mr. Thanhgot a job as building manager at another property management company in August 2012. In this position, he isresponsible for the financial and rental operation of a high-rise building. The Mai Thanh family has been veryhappy with their new life in Canada. With our help, Mr. Thanh was able to get a good-paying job comparablewith his experiences within 14 months of his arrival in Canada.Although VAT has performed its task diligently, but we faced a situation when government budget itself hasbeen reduced. For the fiscal year 2013-14, VAT’s funding from CIC was cut 19%, from 782,558 last year to 631,696. This is a considerable cut for our human resources. In order to avoid layoff, VAT staff has voluntarilyreduced their working hours so everyone can still keep their jobs. CIC has signed a Contribution Agreementwith VAT to provide funding of 631,696 per year over a period of three years, until March 31, 2016. However,we hope that with our good work performance, if there is additional fund from the Federal Government budget,we would be able to ask for additional fund to provide help to newcomers to enable them to settle in Canadasuccessfully and reach their full personal potential for contribution to the Canadian economy.Besides the main funding from CIC, VAT also received smaller funding from three other sources:15
