A cohesive effort between shelter staff and the federal government streamlines the application process for asylum seekers upon arrival.

  • The process does not require individuals to request a specific application type.
  • A direct channeling system connects shelter staff with asylum seekers promptly.
  • Federal government representatives are on-site to issue immediate receipt notices.
  • The effort is described as cohesive, involving both shelter staff and federal government support.
