Plan of action
Governement announcement
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has put in place temporary measures to accelerate the processing of applications to sponsor Syrian and Iraqi refugees. In accelerating processing, our goal is for all Syrian applications received as of today to have a selection decision and arrive to Canada by the end of December 2015. We anticipate meeting the overall commitment of resettling 25,000 Syrians by February 2016. Canada is also on track to fulfil its existing commitment to resettle 23,000 Iraqis by the end of the year.
Refugees Sponsorship of the Greater Montreal has a "Plan of Action for Refugees from Syria" that provides an answer to these questions. In the near future, we will provide a pdf file with all the information with the detail process for each step.
