(Session in English) Ask RSTP Anything about Sponsoring Sudanese refugees under the Temporary Public Policy for Groups of 5 and Community Sponsors

*This session will be delivered in English.

IRCC has announced a temporary public policy that enables Groups of Five and Community Sponsors to sponsor Sudanese refugees who do not have a refugee status document issued by the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), or a foreign state, which formally recognizes the applicant as a refugee. RSTP is inviting all interested sponsorship groups to attend this virtual session with RSTP Trainers and ask any general questions you may have about the temporary public policy, sponsorship application process, eligibility criteria or sponsors’ responsibilities.

Please note: IRCC will only accept new applications from Groups of Five and Community Sponsors for Sudanese refugees. You cannot submit new Group of Five or Community Sponsor applications for other refugee populations as there is a temporary pause in effect until December 31, 2025.
