The Yukon Territory has been home to 50 refugee families over the past six years. Thirty of those resettled were done so through the federal Blended Visa Office-Referred program (BVOR). A professor at York University has researched the private sponsorship of refugees in Canada. Canadians are motivated and have the capacity to sponsor more refugees. Yukon Cares is a refugee sponsorship group that has been helping settle refugees in the region since 2015, during the Syrian crisis. The group is aiming to resettle another family, the first since the global pandemic.

A researcher at the University of Alberta, Stacey Haugen, has looked at how privately sponsored refugees have acclimated in four smaller communities. Most of the newcomers in the smaller communities shared challenges of lack of services, education, and reliable broadband, but they were able to build a larger social network and get more support from the community compared to those in larger urban centers. Haugen said the process of having social networks was something those in rural areas did to find jobs, housing, and general health care. Private sponsors and the locals did more for the refugee families in helping them resettle.
Most refugees preferred living in smaller communities because of being immersed in the culture. One example is Omar Homosh who started in Jasper, Alberta. His work later transferred him to Yellowknife where his family has living in Canada since 2018. He has become a Canadian citizen and found living in the North much better than he expected. He said it is a city where you can get anywhere in ten minutes and you have access to whatever you need.
