This session provides an overview of the essential supports sponsors must provide from pre-arrival through the first three months after arrival under the Private Sponsorship of Refugees (PSR) Program. Participants will gain practical guidance on preparing for arrival, meeting immediate needs, and supporting newcomers as they begin their settlement journey in Canada.

Learn about:
• Pre-arrival planning and preparing for a smooth arrival
• Immediate post-arrival priorities (housing, documents, finances)
• Accessing health care, education, and settlement services
• Connecting newcomers with Service Provider Organizations (SPOs)
• Supporting integration, independence, and community orientation
