i think ontrio just Google it
 
Hi Dear, Shako Mako, I'm an Iraqi too, if you come to Ontario which is the most expensive province you can call Ontario legal aid, they will issue a certificate for you within few days where you can give it to any lawyer from their big list of good lawyers in Ontario so they will cover that for you.

You can also, as you apply, to ask for "Ontario works" just google it, it's around $700 per month for both accommodation & food + health insurance ( but i think you will need rent contract otherwise they give you half of it, not sure as I did not apply for it, still spending from my own money), also there is another option which is shelters but those you might share a room with criminals & homeless which is not present.

No info about the other provinces it could be better or worst.
Good luck.

@Samer I appreciate so much your kind reply, I wish you all the best in your journey

So as I understand you (correct me if i wrong)

Canada provinces didn't supporr asylums seekers with any type of funds like UA during his application
And we should depend financially on ourselves


But Canada life so expensive , is there wny way to have like this funds

I looking for your support me to guide me

Your hints will help me to twke decision
 
Dear, there are many types of support I mentioned them, just google "Ontario works", the point is you can apply at the airport then they will do everything to you but they will send you to shelter or similar thing or you can go inside and take the legal aid, then rent a place then receive Ontario works.
 
only convention refugees supported with first year otherwise if you are not convention refugee or a Country of asylum class then you need to depend on ur self
 
Copied from the Canadian Council of Refugees website.


Refugee claimants and refugees recognized by the Immigration and Refugee Board receive no special income assistance. They may, depending on provincial regulations, be entitled, like other residents, to social assistance.
Privately sponsored refugees are not entitled to any government income assistance (whether from the federal or the provincial government) during the period of their sponsorship (usually for one year after arrival in Canada). Their income support must be provided by their sponsors.
Government assisted refugees have access to financial assistance from the federal government through the Resettlement Assistance Program (RAP). This financial assistance is generally for one year maximum and is received only if they do not have their own financial resources or income. The exact rate depends on the size of the family and is tied to social assistance rates. In Ontario in July 2013, for example, a single person receives $781 per month. In addition, government-assisted refugees are entitled to a one-time set up allowance, to cover such things as clothes, basic household effects and staples, and telephone installation. For a single person there is a maximum one-time allowance of $905, plus a $564 loan for house rental and telephone line deposits.
Most resettled refugees arrive in Canada with a significant debt burden, since they are expected to repay the Canadian government for their transportation to Canada as well as the cost of their medical examination undertaken as part of their processing to come to Canada. Refugee families therefore often begin life in Canada with a debt running to thousands of dollars. Interest is charged on this loan at a rate set by the Department of Finance each year.


So to answer your question, the government won't be giving you enough money to live comfortably.

Not accurate, you can see that Asylum claimants are subjected to Ontario welfare, just search it in google, it called Ontario Works.
