Information on sponsoring Syrian refugees
Two significant things have happened recently to resurrect the G5 option:
- CIC removed the requirement to have a proof of UN refugee status document for Syrians who are outside Syria. This makes the process considerably more streamlined because refugees no longer need to wait years for a UN interview. Of course, all screening processes are still in place, including for security, medical and criminal admissibility.
2. CIC has started allowing G5s to select from the BVOR list.
This should make the G5 option considerably more streamlined and accessible for anyone interested in sponsoring Syrian refugees.
