As a signatory of the Geneva Convention’s 1951 Refugee Status, Canada stands as a beacon for human rights, embracing the principles that ensure the rights to life, personal liberty, and the safety of individuals. Canada’s commitment to these values is evident in its ongoing support of refugees and humanitarian causes. Persons who are compelled to escape their homeland due to genuine fears of persecution for reasons such as ethnicity, religion, belonging to a certain social group, political views, gender identity, sexual orientation, or national identity may find sanctuary on Canadian soil.
Upon arrival at a Canadian point of entry or at the offices of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) or Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) inland, individuals may seek asylum status. At these junctures, a CBSA or IRCC officer will assess the individual’s eligibility to make an asylum claim. The process not only requires a credible account of persecution from their nation of origin but also includes comprehensive biometric and biographic data collection, as well as thorough security and criminal background screenings, prior to bestowing refugee status in Canada.
The Canadian populace, along with community groups and various organizations, play an active role in the sponsorship process, aiding in their resettlement and integration into Canadian life. These sponsorship initiatives are pivotal in providing housing assistance, financial aid, psycho-social support, and basic necessities such as food and clothing to refugees as they navigate their new environment in Canada.
The Groups of Five initiative allows a collective of at least five Canadian citizens or permanent residents to sponsor refugees for resettlement within their local domain. Such sponsors must be at least 18 years of age and can only endorse candidates who have already been conferred refugee status by Canada. In the Blended Visa Office-Referred Program, a semi-private sponsorship endeavor, private entities join forces with the Canadian government to extend support to refugees identified by the United Nations Refugee Agency.
Corporate bodies and organizations are also instrumental in sponsoring refugees through various channels such as becoming a Sponsorship Agreement Holder, a Community Sponsor for recognized refugees, or through the Joint Assistance Sponsorship Program, which facilitates partnerships between organizations and the Government of Canada in supporting refugees who have exceptional needs.

In events where an asylum claim is not accepted, the claimant is mandated to depart from Canada and return to their country of origin. Nevertheless, these individuals hold the right to challenge this decision by applying for an appeal with the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. This must be undertaken within 15 days following the receipt of written decision from the Refugee Protection Division. Applicants have a 30-day window from the same receipt to submit a full Appellants Record. The RAD is tasked to render a decision on the appeal typically within 90 days, contingent on whether a follow-up oral hearing is deemed necessary.
Recognizing the plight of displaced individuals seeking sanctuary and a stable future, the revamped EMPP initiative is extending its compassionate grasp to include a broader range of people in need of international protection and without a durable resolution. This refined approach underlines the commitment to providing substantial assistance to those starting anew, with a streamlined selection of professions now accessible to applicants:
The Government of Canada’s Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) emphasizes simplification with the new policy, establishing a uniform eligibility criterion that promises an expedited application process, now requiring only a single form submission. Parallel to the pace of the acclaimed Express Entry system, this newly established pathway aims to reach decisions on applications within a six-month timeframe.
To ease the financial strain often associated with immigration procedures, PL Immigration announces the removal of certain fees that traditionally hinder the verification of international work experience.
Canada has garnered international accolades for its pioneering efforts in the realm of labour dynamics and the successful integration of refugees. Committed to problem-solving, municipalities and enterprises benefit from governmental guidance that strategically counters employment deficits by introducing skilled refugees and other individuals in need of resettlement into the Canadian workforce. This ongoing modernization of the immigration infrastructure aligns seamlessly with Canada’s economic ambitions and its humanitarian commitments.
The nation is on an expansionist track with the EMPP – Economic Mobility Pathways Project – intending to usher in a wave of 2,000 proficient refugees and people in precarious living conditions. This opens vistas of opportunity across the entire spectrum of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) from TEER levels 0 through 5, signaling a sweeping inclusivity.
At the heart of these developments is the EMPP, a potent initiative that coordinates a symbiotic relationship between competent, globally-displaced workers and Canadian employers facing pronounced skill shortages. This program is a catalyst for dual benefits: it gifts those in vulnerable positions a chance to relocate and thrive within the welcoming arms of Canada while simultaneously equipping local businesses with a reservoir of untapped talented individuals. This strategic collaboration fills crucial positions, enriching the fabric of the nation’s workforce and spurring economic progression.
Canada is ushering in a progressive era of inclusive growth with the implementation of the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP). Merging the concepts of economic migration with the resettlement of refugees, the EMPP is an innovative framework that opens Canadian doors to skilled refugees, simultaneously granting Canadian employers a fresh pool of competent job.
Potential participants desiring to engage with the EMPP must initially qualify through one of Canada economic immigration channels:
This novel avenue bolsters existing efforts to diversify inclusion in economic programs. Recognizing the need for proficiency enhancement in pivotal areas, such as sourcing suitable applicants from overseas and extending support to candidates and employers throughout the recruitment and immigration process, the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) allocated additional funds to partner organizations in December 2022. Further making strides towards accessibility, Canada is collaborating with trusted partners to streamline the application process for the EMPP, ensuring a smoother pathway for eligible individuals.

Canada’s commitment to providing sanctuary to those in need is exemplified through its comprehensive resettlement programs. Among these, the Government-Assisted Refugee Program (GAR) and the Blended Visa Office-Referred (BVOR) Program stand as foundational pillars, complementing the Private Sponsorship of Refugees (PSR) Program. These initiatives collectively facilitate a greater influx of refugees than Canada could accommodate independently.
The synergy of these programs exemplifies Canada’s humanitarian efforts and is instrumental in realizing its ambitious goal to welcome over 83,500 privately sponsored refugees by the year 2025. The GAR and BVOR programs serve as essential components in the country’s multi-faceted approach to refugee resettlement.
