Welcome CanRefugee provides information for churches, refugees, and others interested in learning how to support refugees. Here you will learn about the different ways that refugees come to Canada along with links to some of the best resources to help support newly arrived refugees here in Canada.
We are part of Welcome Church Canada - a network of churches across Canada who have training and are ready to welcome newcomers into their community. Welcome Church is an initiative of Our Common Calling.
Please note that Welcome CanRefugee is NOT a sponsoring agency (SAH) and cannot help bring people to Canada.
Our world is facing a global refugee crisis. War and persecution is creating the largest number of refugees in recorded history. Over 82 million people have been forced to flee their homes because of that.
Many of these uprooted people come to Canada seeking safety and protection. You can make a difference!
Churches are uniquely positioned to offer relational and practical support to people seeking safety, peace and a new home here in Canada.
