Service delivery improvements funding process: Expression of interest 

We fund many services that directly benefit newcomers through the Settlement Program. Our Settlement Program also funds services that indirectly benefit newcomers by improving the knowledge and capacity of the IRCC-funded settlement community.

Partnerships between organizations both inside and outside of the settlement sector will be key to the success of SDI projects across all priorities. We recognize the significant value that will come from projects that

• generate best practices
• identify lessons learned
• encourage service improvements that can be applied across the settlement sector

This SDI funding process will only fund projects that test new approaches to service delivery.
