Organizations in Leamington, Ontario,
Peterborough, Ontario and Brooks, Alberta are
stepping up to play a stronger role in resettling
refugees in canada The New Canadians Centre of
Excellence (Leamington), the New Canadians Centre
(Peterborough) and the Calgary Catholic
Immigration Society (Brooks) all successfully
demonstrated they have the services in place to
become new Resettlement Assistance Program
centres and are able to start accepting
government-assisted refugees. Under the
Resettlement Assistance Program, there are now 27
communities outside Quebec offering comprehensive
and expanded services to refugees. The
Resettlement Assistance Program supports
government-assisted refugees, blended visa
office-referred refugees and other eligible
clients when they first arrive in Canada. A
recent call for proposals was launched to
identify new temporary Resettlement Assistance
Program centres and expand the number of cities
across Canada where refugees can be sent.
