This is to inform you that the Resettlement Assistance Program (RAP) is moderately increasing its rates in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario to align with provincial social assistance rates.<\/p>\n
In addition to the updated rates in the three provinces noted above, the transportation allowance will also be raised to $75 per month in all communities throughout Canada where the actual cost of a monthly transit pass is lower than that amount.<\/p>\n
These changes will come into effect on November 1, 2019, and the updated rates will be posted on the RSTP website<\/a> at least two weeks in advance of the effective date<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Both social assistance and RAP rates change over time, and as always, sponsoring groups are expected to provide support at the rates in place at the time of the refugee\u2019s arrival and over the course of their sponsorship period. These changes are necessary in response to the rising costs of living and to ensure that RAP income support levels are aligned with provincial social assistance rates.<\/p>\n Please note that the Sponsorship Cost Table and the In-Kind Deduction Table listed in the Group of Five<\/a> and Community Sponsor<\/a> application guides will not be updated at this point in time. The\u00a0Sponsorship Cost Table\u00a0amount is used by IRCC to assess the financial capacity of sponsors at the application stage.\u00a0 After the refugees\u2019 arrival, sponsors must use the RAP rates<\/a> in the expected community of settlement to calculate the actual support income they must provide.<\/p>\n =====================================================================================================================================<\/p>\n La pr\u00e9sente vise \u00e0 vous informer que les taux du Programme d\u2019aide \u00e0 la r\u00e9installation (PAR) seront l\u00e9g\u00e8rement augment\u00e9s pour l\u2019Alberta, la Colombie-Britannique et l\u2019Ontario afin qu\u2019ils concordent avec les taux d\u2019aide sociale en vigueur dans ces provinces.<\/p>\n En plus de la mise \u00e0 jour des taux dans les trois provinces susmentionn\u00e9es, l\u2019allocation de transport passera \u00e0 75\u00a0$ par mois dans toutes les collectivit\u00e9s du Canada o\u00f9 le co\u00fbt r\u00e9el d\u2019un laissez-passer mensuel est inf\u00e9rieur \u00e0 ce montant.<\/p>\n Ces changements entreront en vigueur le 1er<\/sup>\u00a0novembre\u00a02019. Les taux mis \u00e0 jour seront affich\u00e9s sur le site Web du PFPR<\/a> au moins deux semaines avant leur date d\u2019entr\u00e9e en vigueur<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Les taux d\u2019aide sociale et ceux du PAR changent au fil du temps, et on s\u2019attend toujours \u00e0 ce que les groupes de parrainages offrent un soutien en fonction des taux en vigueur au moment de l\u2019arriv\u00e9e du r\u00e9fugi\u00e9 et pendant la dur\u00e9e de la p\u00e9riode de parrainage. Ces modifications sont n\u00e9cessaires pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 l\u2019augmentation du co\u00fbt de la vie au Canada et veiller \u00e0 ce que les niveaux de soutien du revenu du PAR concordent avec les taux d\u2019aide sociale en vigueur dans les provinces.<\/p>\n Veuillez noter que le Tableau des co\u00fbts de parrainage et le Tableau de d\u00e9duction des dons en nature figurant dans les guides de demande des groupes de cinq<\/a> et des r\u00e9pondants communautaires<\/a> ne seront pas mis \u00e0 jour pour le moment. Le montant indiqu\u00e9 dans le Tableau des co\u00fbts de parrainage est utilis\u00e9 par IRCC pour \u00e9valuer la capacit\u00e9 financi\u00e8re des r\u00e9pondants \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tape de la pr\u00e9sentation de la demande. Apr\u00e8s l\u2019arriv\u00e9e des r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s, les r\u00e9pondants doivent utiliser les taux du PAR<\/a> dans la collectivit\u00e9 d\u2019\u00e9tablissement pr\u00e9vue pour calculer le revenu de soutien r\u00e9el qu\u2019ils doivent fournir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is to inform you that the Resettlement Assistance Program (RAP) is moderately increasing its rates in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario to align with provincial social assistance rates.
