RSTP Webinar: Navigating Secondary Migration
Date & time
The Refugee Sponsorship Training Program (RSTP) invites you to the upcoming discussion session: Navigating Secondary Migration
What exactly needs to happen when a sponsored refugee decides to move away from their intended community of settlement during the sponsorship period (or if they never arrive there in the first place)?
This process, called Secondary Migration, has become a bit of a hot topic for a number of reasons.
Sponsors and sponsored newcomers are often left with a lot of questions about how to handle this kind of change, including:
- what are the sponsors’ responsibilities?
- are sponsors obligated to continue supporting the people they have sponsored when they move away?
- who will support the refugee newcomers in their new community?
- who do you contact, what paper work needs to be filled out?
- what is the step-by-step process in ensuring a smooth transition?
- who can help?
The information shared will be valuable whether you’re currently facing a Secondary Migration situation or if you’re simply trying to be prepared.
Who is this webinar for?
- lawyers
- sponsors (BVOR and PSR program)
