Update: Settlement Services to Support Temporary Residents Affected by the Crisis in Gaza (2024)

March 27, 2024 Update: On December 28, 2023, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced a Temporary public policy to facilitate temporary resident visas for certain extended family affected by the crisis in Gaza. In support of this temporary resident pathway, which took effect January 9, 2024, IRCC has amended the Settlement Program’s Terms and Conditions to temporarily extend access of federally funded settlement services to eligible temporary residents.


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.
