Temporary pause on intake of refugee sponsorship applications from groups of five and community sponsors
Ottawa, November 29, 2024—

The Government of Canada’s immigration levels plan establishes the number of privately sponsored refugees who can arrive in Canada each year. Due to ongoing high demand, applications from private sponsors continue to exceed the private sponsorship spaces available under the immigration levels plan, resulting in a large and growing application inventory and lengthy processing times.
To provide more certainty to refugees abroad and sponsors in Canada, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has temporarily stopped accepting new applications from groups of five and community sponsors under the PSR Program as of November 29, 2024.
