Service Delivery Improvements (SDI) 2020 

IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) has launched SDI 2020 funding process in order to support the newcomers' settlement in Canada. Under this SDI 2020, selected 78 new projects to integrate new immigrants into the new communities and hold their settlement.

For instance, the below three programs can give an idea about the SDI 2020: The University of Windsor’s Artificial Intelligence has implemented - 'A Rapid Response Leveraging Newcomers’ Pathway to Settlement' will test if artificial intelligence can be applied for the development of an effective settlement strategy for new immigrants. The Accessible Community Counseling and Employment Services’ Connecting Canada: Employer Engagement Driving Settlement in Smaller Communities will test whether connecting newcomers with employers in smaller urban and rural communities before they arrive will lead to more newcomers choosing to settle there. S.U.C.C.E.S.S.’s An Anti-Oppression Framework to Combat Systemic Racism in Immigrant Services will explore service approaches designed with an anti-oppression framework.

During the pandemic, many services in Canada have moved online, SDI is one among them. The SDI funding will help IRCC to determine the services for new immigrants taking into account the increased reliance on online service delivery.

Highlights “Settlement services play a fundamental role in Canada’s immigration system. From work to housing to language training, they set newcomers up for success. During this challenging year and a half, I think it’s safe to say everyone has needed support in some form or another. One can only begin to imagine the additional hurdles this pandemic has presented newcomers trying to start their lives in Canada. These new SDI projects will help us enhance and improve settlement services so every newcomer can reach their full potential here.” from the Honorable Marco E. L. Mendicino, P.C., M.P., Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship.
