Refugee Sponsorship

Provides refugees protection, the opportunity to rebuild their lives and hope for the future.

The Private Sponsorship of Refugee Program allows Canadian citizens, as well as permanent residents, an opportunity to help sponsor refugees to Canada.

Through sponsorship you share the love and hope of Jesus Christ.

As a sponsor you support and resettle refugees to Canada; you support the refugees for the duration of the sponsorship period, which is usually one year.

The support you provide will include:

• Housing

• Food

• Clothing

• Transportation

• Social & Emotional Support

Private Sponsorship Program - Group of Five

We support community groups wishing to engage in private sponsorship under the Group of Five (G5) sponsorship stream with the preparation of their refugee sponsorship application in the following ways: 

• We provide orientation and information on the G5 sponsorship processes including an explanation of eligibility criteria and the various application requirements. 

• We download and share the G5 sponsorship application forms and provide support to G5 sponsors with understanding the sponsorship undertaking and settlement plan details. 

• We provide information on financial requirements and review completed forms and supporting documents for accuracy and completeness. 

• When the refugees arrived to Ottawa, we continue to support these families with their settlement and integration processes.

Community Sponsorship

Afro-Canadian Resettlement is a registered community sponsor with the federal government of Canada.

This enables us to sponsor refugees for their resettlement to Canada through Canada’s Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program (PSRP).
