What are complementary pathways?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Complementary pathways are distinct from resettlement.<\/span><\/b>\u202fThird countries set their own criteria for supplementary routes and decide who will be admitted to their territory. Refugees and asylum-seekers can apply directly for such opportunities, and a UNHCR referral is not required.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is family reunification?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Family reunification brings together family members who live in different countries. Family reunification for refugees is a situation in which family members have been separated, and at least one family member has been recognized as a refugee, or holder of temporary or subsidiary protection status by the country in which they live. The refugee can then apply for his family to join him in that country.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Family reunification programs and who qualify for these programs are determined and managed by the different countries in which your family members live.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
