IRCC Message for Sponsors Regarding Updates to the Resettlement Assistance Program (RAP) Rates
Please be informed that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has updated income support rates under the Resettlement Assistance Program (RAP) to ensure RAP income support rates are aligned with provincial social assistance rates and that they continue to respond to the shelter and basic needs of resettled refugees. These changes have already come into effect for Government Assisted Refugees (GARs) and Blended Visa Office-Referred (BVOR) Refugees receiving RAP income support.
