Blended Visa Office-Referred Program
Guidance on the Blended Visa Officer Referred Program has been updated to clarify current procedures on selection and referral of BVOR cases…
The BVOR program facilitates the matching of refugees who have been identified by designated referral organizations and deemed eligible and admissible for resettlement to Canada.
Cases are selected by the Resettlement Operations Centre in Ottawa (ROC-O) and converted to the BVOR program. These cases are then sent to the Refugee Sponsorship Training Program (RSTP) to be matched with a refugee sponsorship group. If matched, the refugee receives financial support from both the Government of Canada and the sponsorship group, as well as settlement support from the sponsorship group for the duration of the sponsorship period, typically 1 year after the individual or family has arrived in Canada.
