<p>The concept of belonging to a host country has gained importance in understanding the process of integration of migrant populations. In the country of settlement, belonging can be associated with individual and social factors, including interpersonal relationships, such as those within the same family. Healthy family functioning, an indicator of positive intimate relationships between couples, is associated with individuals’ stronger sense of belonging, whereas poor family functioning is associated with individuals’ weaker sense of belonging. This study, with Syrian refugee parents and their spouses residing in Ontario, investigated how the perceptions of being treated with respect were associated with these newcomers’ sense of belonging to Canada. This study was cross-sectional in design. Participants were Syrian refugee parents who resettled in Ontario after 2015 and who had at least one child under 18 years. A total of 209 couples participated, resulting in 418 individuals. The outcome variable was self-reported ratings of the sense of belonging to Canada. The two main independent variables were whether one felt that Canadians treated one with respect and whether one’s spouse felt the same way. Generalized linear mixed model regression analyses were conducted to assess the associations between an individual’s sense of belonging and their report of being treated with respect, and their partner’s report of being treated with respect, after adjusting for socio-demographic and migration factors. Individuals with healthy family functioning had a significantly stronger sense of belonging to Canada compared to individuals with unhealthy family functioning. It also found that individuals’ sense of belonging to Canada was associated with the spouses’ perceptions of being treated with respect by Canadians. Findings showed that although feelings of respect for one’s self (<i>B</i> = 0.993, <i>p</i> = &lt;0.001) or of one’s spouse (<i>B</i> = 0.620, <i>p</i> = &lt;0.001) both predicted a higher sense of belonging when considered alone, spouses’ feelings of being respected did not contribute any additional explanatory power (<i>B</i> = 0.238, <i>p</i> = 0.237) to a stronger sense of belonging when it was considered together with one’s feeling of self respect. This study’s findings can help to understand significant markers responsible for boosting the sense of belonging of Syrian refugee parents resettling in Canada.</p>
