Program

National Call for Proposals 2019 Part 2: Research, Capacity-Building, and Coordination Services (Indirect) [1]

Description

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has launched a second Call for Proposals 2019 (CFP2) to complement direct Settlement services across Canada by funding projects which promote research, capacity-building and coordination services.

The program is open to various types of applicants. For more information, please review the application process and guidelines [2].

IRCC invites service providers preparing their first CFP application to join one of their webinar sessions “Intro to CFP for new applicants”. These sessions intend to provide an overview of the CFP process and address basic process questions. First time applicants are encouraged to participate in both the intro to CFP webinar, and a regular CFP webinar.

Specific dates and times for each webinar can be found on the Funding Page [3].
