Deadline: 20-Aug-21

Government of Canada is pleased to announce a Call for Proposals 2021 – Resettlement Assistance Program and Case Management Services for Government-Assisted Refugees (GARs) and other Vulnerable Newcomers under the Settlement Program.

The purpose of this Call for Proposals (CFP) is to support the implementation of the Immigration Levels Plan 2021-2023 by building the capacity of communities to resettle GARs and vulnerable newcomers by:
  • establishing new Resettlement Assistance Program (RAP) Service Provider Organizations (SPOs) in communities identified in this document (RAP funding stream), and
  • supporting the delivery of Settlement Program services using a Case Management approach for GARs and other vulnerable newcomer clients in communities identified in this document (Settlement funding stream).
Resettlement Assistance Program: The Resettlement Assistance Program is a funding program operating in all provinces outside of Quebec that support Government-Assisted Refugees (GARs) and other eligible clients upon arrival in Canada by providing them with direct financial support and by funding service provider organizations to deliver immediate and essential services. This includes the provision of temporary accommodation and assistance finding permanent housing, orientation to life in Canada, and registration and referrals to other government and community services.
Resettlement Assistance Program Outcomes
To receive funding, applicants must detail how their project(s) align with the Immediate and Intermediate Outcomes below:
  • Immediate Outcomes: Immediate and essential needs of resettled refugees met.
  • Intermediate Outcome: Resettled refugees have the tools to live independently in Canadian society.
Case Management Services: Case Management refers to a comprehensive approach to supporting the settlement of GARs and other high needs and vulnerable newcomers ((for example: victims of gender based violence, disadvantaged youth, LGBTQ2, etc.) facing multiple and complex barriers to integrate, typically provided during a client’s first 12-18 months in Canada. The approach generally involves the following activities: a comprehensive needs and assets assessment and settlement plan with followed referrals, regular monitoring of progress and check-ins at set intervals, as well as the provision of personalized and intensive supports, based on client needs.
