| Description: | RAP was created to ensure that a newcomer would immediately receive the information and services necessary to establish them in their new community, and to provide enough support for the newcomer to become independent and self-sufficient as soon as possible. These support services are available to pre-approved government assisted refugees upon arrival in Canada. Under RAP, newcomers are given basic orientation and information about Canada and are introduced to and provided information about any federal and provincial programs available to them, including language instruction and employment resources. |
