IRCC: Important information regarding settlement supports for persons fleeing the conflict in Gaza (2024)

On December 18, 2024, the Government of Canada made changes to section 3.8 of the Settlement Program’s Terms and Conditions to expand settlement service eligibility to a broader cohort of temporary residents (TRs). This change will allow for a more equitable treatment of temporary residents directly affected by the crisis in Gaza and is effective until March 31, 2027.


This virtual space is designed to help us connect across the land that we are currently calling Canada. Our members are standing on different parts of this land that many Indigenous peoples have been taking care of for millennia before settlers arrived. We acknowledge the injustices that have been committed in the past and the harms that continue. We are committed to learning, sharing knowledge, and working towards a just future through building respectful relationships between established or recent settlers and the first nations of what we now call Canada.
