Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news and I am Joy Stephen, an authorized Canadian Immigration practitioner bringing out this special edition of Immigration news from Provincial News, Newfoundland and Labrador. This news was released by the government on 24/05/2023. I am coming to you from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario. Today is the 26/05/2023
The Honourable Gerry Byrne, Minister of Immigration, Population Growth and Skills, in partnership with the Association for New Canadians, announced more than $11 million for a suite of housing and employment supports to assist Ukrainians to settle and raise families in Newfoundland and Labrador. This announcement, to support the nearly 2,800 Ukrainians in the province, includes additional housing supports and the new Ukraine Job Connect initiative to support employers in hiring Ukrainians and boost the province’s overall employment.
Housing and settlement supports being offered to Ukrainians include:
Launching an innovative, province-wide homestay hosting program. Approved host families will receive $1,000 monthly for up to five months for hosting Ukrainians;
Moving expense assistance of $2,000 for Ukrainians leaving temporary accommodations who are moving to leased accommodations in the St. John’s Census Metropolitan area, $4,000 for outside the St. John’s area, and $6,000 for Labrador;
A $3 million call for proposals for innovative housing projects for Ukrainians, such as:
Repurposing vacant property;
Housing repair and maintenance assistance; and
Co-housing initiatives; and
Expanding access to conversational English classes and workplace-based English support for Ukrainians.
The Association for New Canadians continues to compile a database of available housing throughout Newfoundland and Labrador. Homeowners with vacant properties can register their housing with the Association for New Canadians by contacting ukraine@ancnl.ca or 709-325-0881.
