Map of destination communities for privately sponsored Syrian refugees

Backgrounder

The Government of Canada has announced a goal of bringing 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by the end of February, 2016. The majority will be government-assisted refugees who will go to communities across Canada, where organizations with support services are available to help them integrate. We anticipate more communities will get involved in supporting the settlement and integration of these refugees. Many others will be privately sponsored by organizations and groups of Canadians. These refugees will go to communities large and small across the country where their sponsors are located. As of November 24th, the Government of Canada is actively processing 4,511 files of privately sponsored Syrian refugees, outside of Quebec. 74 have already arrived in Canada since November 4th.
