Canada offering 12 months of income to LGBT ‘refugees’

(LifeSiteNews) — Canada is now offering 12 months of income for LGBT-identifying refugees moving to Canada.

The Government of Canada, under the Liberal Party, is encouraging “LGBTQI+” refugees to move to Canada by offering them taxpayer-funded income for up to 12 months in addition to various other programs.

“The UNHCR, Rainbow Railroad and other referral organizations can identify and refer LGBTQI+ refugees to be resettled under the Government-Assisted Refugees Program,” the government webpage read.

“Refugees resettled under this program get 12 months of income and settlement support through the Resettlement Assistance Program,” it continued.

The program also offers financial aid and incentives through private sponsorships. Canada also renewed their partnership with the Rainbow Refugee Society until the end of 2029.

Under the program, Canadian taxpayers pay for the first three months of income and private sponsors pay the remaining nine months.

“We encourage refugee sponsorship organizations, as well as organizations across the country that support two‑spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and additional sexually and gender diverse (2SLGBTQI+) people to privately sponsor refugees who face violence and persecution,” the Liberals wrote. “This includes those persecuted based on SOGIESC.”

This is not the first time that Liberals have promoted immigrating to Canada to LGBT individuals.

As LifeSiteNews previously reported, this spring, posters funded by the federal government appeared across Vancouver Island, British Columbia, encouraging mass migration of immigrants who embody anti-Canadian and LGBT values.
