Federal government announced a year-long pause on refugee sponsorship applications for groups of five and community sponsors.
The government said the pause is temporary to deal with the growing backlog of private sponsorship applications.
Immigration officials say there are more than 90,000 private refugee applications waiting to be processed.
Non-profits concerned pause will increase requests for organization sponsorship.
The pause on refugee sponsorship applications comes on the heels of several other cuts Ottawa has made this year to stem the flow of new migrants into Canada .
Local non-profits and private sponsors supporting refugee settlement say the cuts and now the pause in applications hurt refugees in need.
For some sponsors, who are often family and friends of refugees, it may mean a higher financial burden.
