situations that may change the amount of financial support that sponsors are expected to provide once the refugees arrive in Canada;
an overview of the sponsors’ settlement responsibilities under the PSR program and how settlement agencies can assist sponsors with fulfilling their settlement responsibilities;
an overview of IRCC’s post-arrival assurance activities.
