Bridge Together is an IRCC-funded Service Delivery Improvement (SDI) project dedicated to strengthening collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and coordination between settlement service providers and refugee sponsoring groups. The project’s work is rooted in the belief that, when systems are better connected, sponsored newcomers receive more seamless, responsive, and effective support as they settle in Canada.
The refugee resettlement landscape is complex, and involves multiple stakeholders, responsibilities, and timelines. Bridge Together hopes to bridge the gaps between services, sectors, and lived experiences so that sponsored newcomers are supported in ways that are coordinated, culturally responsive, and grounded.
