The refugees came into the country in three different refugee immigration schemes: the "Privately Sponsored Refugees (PSRs)", who were financially supported by private citizens or organizations, the "Government Assisted Refugees (GARs)," who were funded by IRCC through the Refugee Resettlement Assistance Program (RAP), and the "Blended Visa Office-Referred Refugees (BVORs)", which is a type of refugee classified by UNCHR and subsequently paired with Canadian private sponsors.
