Government's narrative on progress

The government is currently reviewing how to deliver settlement and resettlement services in a better, more collaborative way, as well as test innovative approaches, to improve the participation of newcomers in social, cultural, civic, and economic life in Canada. Resettled refugees are provided immediate and essential services through the Government of Canada’s Resettlement Assistance Program and the Settlement Program, to support their resettlement and integration. Evidence and information gathered on the use of settlement and resettlement services by refugee groups will support the development of priorities for resettlement initiatives and ensure the needs of vulnerable newcomers are being met through interim programming as needed. The National Call for Proposals for the Settlement and Resettlement Assistance Programs, which opened on February 18, 2019, will also ensure that investments target the specific needs of refugees and newcomers to ensure they integrate successfully and participate in society.
