Settlement Programs
The Resettlement Assistance Program (RAP) helps refugees resettle in Canada. Through this program MCAF works with newcomers to find accommodations, general household items and essential clothing. We also link newcomers to schools, healthcare, community resources and services necessary for the resettlement process. Through the Immigrant Settlement and Adaptation Program (ISAP), MCAF delivers services to newcomers including orientation to housing, healthcare, education and finances as well as interpretation and referrals to resources in the community. MCAF recruits and trains local volunteers and matches them with newcomers. This experience gives each the opportunity to make a new friend and learn about another culture and language. The volunteers play a vital role in helping newcomers adapt, settle and integrate into Canadian life. To learn more about volunteering, visit our Get Involved page. The RAP, ISAP and HOST Volunteer programs are funded by Citizenship, Immigration & Multiculturalism Canada. The Health and Wellbeing for Immigrant Women project provides support and guidance for immigrant women to achieve full participation in the economic, social and cultural life of Fredericton. This program connects immigrant women with local organizations serving women, and works with these organizations to enhance their cultural competency and to facilitate inclusive programming. The Health and Wellbeing for Immigrant Women in Fredericton Project is funded by Status of Women Canada.
