National Call for Proposals Process

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) seeks to build a stronger Canada by supporting the settlement of newcomers into Canadian society.

Welcoming newcomers and helping them integrate into society is a community effort that is supported by partnerships with organizations and individuals across all communities.

CIC provides funding for organizations and individuals to provide settlement services to newcomers, including those in official language minority communities. Settlement services can include language assessment and training, orientation to help newcomers adapt to life in Canada, the development of social or work-related skills and more.

CIC funds settlement services through a National Call for Proposals process. It is a fair, open and transparent process that allows any eligible organization or individual to apply for CIC funding to deliver eligible settlement services in their community.

The National Call for Proposals for 2009-2010 is now closed. Please check back regularly for updates about future National Calls for Proposals.
