How does the “mixed” model work? Refugees who have been relocated under the Blended VOR initiative receive financial assistance in the first 6 months after arrival through the federal government`s Resettlement Assistance Program (RAP). They are also fully covered by the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) for a full 12-month period in addition to provincial health insurance. Sponsors are responsible for the remaining 6 months of financial support. SaH and its support group also have a responsibility to manage and emotionally support refugees during the 12 months of sponsorship. Many organizations have signed sponsorship agreements with the Government of Canada to help foreign refugees relocate to Canada. These organizations are called the Holders Sponsorship Agreement. They may sponsor refugees themselves or work with others in the community to sponsor refugees. SAHs assume overall responsibility and responsibility for the management of sponsorships as part of their agreement. SAHs may allow other groups in the Community to sponsor refugees under their agreements. SAHs may cooperate with groups or individuals to sponsor refugees under their agreements. These groups are called constituent groups (CG); All people who work with SAHs are called co-sponsors. By signing the sponsorship agreement, an SAH is legally responsible, but not limited: Holders of a sponsorship contract can obtain co-sponsorship with an individual or other organization and participate in refugee settlement assistance.

The Sponsorship Agreement allows SAH to sponsor a number of refugees each year for resettlement to Canada through the Private Sponsorship of Refugees (PSR) program. On March 30, 2020, we updated the application process for sponsorship contract holders.

Individuals who qualify as refugees in the following two classes can receive assistance under the PSR program: Quebec has its own process for sponsoring refugees. For Quebec sponsorships, go to the sponsorship of refugees in Quebec. Canada`s immigration and refugee protection law determines who can apply for protection as a refugee. The person must apply from outside Canada and, in short, not be able to live in their country of origin due to a well-founded fear of persecution, the effects of civil war or armed conflict, or the persistent denial of their fundamental human rights. There are different types of refugee sponsorships that are described below.
