Refugees can be resettled in Canada via different resettlement programs. The main difference between these programs is the breakdown of the financial and non-financial support from the government of Canada and private sponsors.
Refugees, private sponsors and settlement workers have different roles within the Private Sponsorship of Refugee Program.
Sponsorship groups are responsible for providing income support, plus start-up costs, to the refugee(s) they sponsor.
