The Resettlement Assistance Program (RAP) helps Government Assisted Refugees (GARs) settle in Canada. When GARs arrive, Regina Open Door Society’s Settlement Workers meet them at the airport and take them to Reception House, a place of temporary accommodations. Refugees stay there until they find permanent homes. Settlement Workers assess education, language, and health needs and help newcomers learn how to live in Canada.
It is the first phase of a newcomer’s integration into Canadian society
The first step where newcomers understand Canadian culture and build what they need to thrive in their new community.

Refugee Settlement Timeline
The reality of refugees
Refugees are people outside their country of nationality, afraid to return due to a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, social group membership, or political opinion. Forced to flee, they often leave behind everything—home, belongings, family—for an uncertain future in a foreign land. Explore How Resettlement Works.
Upon arrival, the Regina Open Door Society assists refugees throughout the resettlement process. See Refugee Support in Canada.
