Since the beginning of the year, 10.9 thousand kandases and migrants who voluntarily moved to a permanent place of residence in the regions of resettlement determined by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan are covered by 25 types of adaptation and integration services.

Migrants and kandases are provided with information, legal, social, medical and educational services that facilitate their adaptation and integration in the regions of resettlement and consolidation in a new place of residence. As of November 1, these services covered 8,719 kandases and 2,161 migrants.

Adaptation and integration services are provided from the moment those wishing to participate in state measures of voluntary resettlement apply to the career center at their place of residence. A career center employee provides an initial consultation on the conditions of resettlement to the regions of resettlement and a list of necessary documents.

Before determining the region of resettlement, the migrant or candidate is provided with all the necessary information: about inclusion in the regional quota, about the services of temporary accommodation centers, adaptation and integration services and other support measures.

Documents are accepted in electronic format through the automated information systems "Kandas" or "Labor Market". Together with the migrant and/or candidate, an individual adaptation and integration plan is formed, in accordance with which the move and settlement in the new place of residence takes place.

This plan necessarily regulates the following activities:

- moving and accommodation in the region of resettlement (date of arrival, type of transportation, number of arriving family members);

- registration of financial assistance, including an economic mobility certificate;

- employment at a permanent place of work, as well as, if necessary, professional training, retraining and advanced training;

- search and selection of housing for family living with payment through an economic mobility certificate;

- adaptation and integration of family members.

Monitoring of the provision of adaptation and integration services is carried out through the Digital Family Card and the FSM Social mobile application for five years.

The following regions have been identified for the resettlement of Kandas: Akmola, Abay, Kostanay, Pavlodar, East and North Kazakhstan regions.

For the resettlement of migrants: Ulytau region, Abay, Kostanay, Pavlodar, Karaganda, East and North Kazakhstan regions.

The following state support measures are provided to migrants and candidates who voluntarily moved to regions with labor shortages within the established quota:

- a relocation subsidy - a one-time payment of 70 MCI for the head and each family member (258,440 tenge);

- a monthly subsidy for renting housing and paying for utilities, for 12 months in the amount of 15 to 30 MCI, depending on the number of family members and locality (from 55,380 tenge to 110,760 tenge);

- referral for short-term vocational training;

- assistance in finding employment or developing entrepreneurial initiative;

- issuance of certificates of economic mobility.

In addition, employers providing assistance in interregional resettlement are provided with a one-time employment subsidy in the amount of 400 MCI for each employee provided with housing and hired for a permanent job for a period of at least 2 years.

Let us recall that the mechanism for providing adaptation and integration services to families of migrants and kandas who voluntarily moved to a permanent place of residence in the resettlement regions determined by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan was tested in a pilot mode in 2023 in the East Kazakhstan and Pavlodar regions.
