Settlement organizations in Canada resettle Afghan refugees
On May 27, 2022, the Government of Canada announced that Resettlement Assistance Program service provider organizations (RAP SPOs) are doing their best to settle refugees, including Afghans, in their new communities. The RAP delivers immediate and essential support for refugees’ most basic requirements, including temporary housing, help in locating permanent housing, and registration for federal and provincial programs. In January 2022, Canada announced a $35 million investment to increase settlement services for newcomers in rural areas and small towns. This funding will help create 9 new RAP SPOs in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, and New Brunswick with $21 million.
