Pre-arrival Settlement Services Program
Highlights from the announcement of Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
The government of Canada has approved $113 million towards an improved Pre-arrival Settlement Services Program for newcomers, through to the year 2023.
The objective of this program is to assist newcomers in overcoming barriers and initial hurdles to settlement and integration before they practically arrive in Canada. It provides newcomers with vital information and supports while they are still abroad, so that they have realistic expectations of their new life in Canada.
An assessment of the Pre-arrival Services Program reveals that participants are gaining valuable knowledge of life in Canada and the job market at a higher rate than those who have not used those services. For all these reasons, the government places great importance on providing newcomers with the settlement support services they need before they arrive.
