Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada is a core federal funder for newcomer settlement and resettlement services. Through national calls for proposals and ongoing funding processes, IRCC funds service-provider organizations that help newcomers settle and adapt to life in Canada. Funded services can include information and referrals, language training, employment assistance aligned with newcomers skills and education, and supports that help people integrate into Canadian society. In the funding ecosystem, IRCC plays an anchor role because settlement agencies, community organizations and specialized providers often rely on multi-year federal agreements to plan staffing, partnerships and regional service capacity. Its funding turns immigration policy into practical front-line services: newcomers receive guidance, employers gain access to talent, and communities build stronger inclusion infrastructure. The 2024 call for proposals fits within this broader national service-delivery framework.
