National training: ‘The One-Year-Window of Opportunity: What sponsors need to know’

This webinar provides an overview of secondary migration among Privately Sponsored Refugees (PSRs) and refugees sponsored under the Blended Visa Office-Referred Program (BVOR), focusing on the implications for sponsors and newcomers. Participants will learn how to manage sponsorship responsibilities when refugees move to a different community, understand reporting and communication procedures, and explore best practices for supporting successful resettlement after relocation.

What exactly is secondary migration?
When sponsored refugee newcomers decide to move away from their intended community settlement (where the sponsors live) during the sponsorship year, this is called ‘secondary migration’. In this scenario, sponsors have specific responsibilities and we have recommendations on how to address secondary migration even before it happens. Join our webinar to learn more and be prepared for any possible outcome during your sponsorship.
