How it Works

ORAT works exclusively through overseas referral partners who are responsible for screening prospective candidates, ensuring each candidate meets Immigration Canada's program requirements, including:

• A valid refugee claim.
• Proof of 1,560 hours of paid work experience in their field of expertise.
• Test results from an approved testing organization demonstrating that the candidate meets the required level of English language proficiency.
