Evaluation of Government Assisted Refugees (GAR) and Resettlement Assistance Program (RAP)
Appendix F: GAR profile – comparison of FOSS to iCAMS and IMDB
*Note: The numbers from FOSS presented here may not exactly match those presented in the FOSS profile for the evaluation. The criteria to identify and exclude Quebec cases were slightly different in both. For iCAMS, it was only possible to identify Quebec cases from the province of intended destination. Therefore the FOSS numbers presented here exclude GAR cases who mentioned Quebec as their province of intended destination. For the FOSS profile analysis prepared for the evaluation, an additional criteria was used in addition to the province of intended destination, which is having a CSQ (Certificat de sélection du Québec). FOSS data is a profile of all GARs who arrived in Canada during the reference period, whereas iCAMS data is data submitted by SPOs for clients served. As noted in the table, the FOSS and iCAMS profiles are almost identical.
