ARE YOU WILING TO SPONSOR A REFUGEE?
- REQUEST A REFUGEE PROFILE
Thank you for your interest in the Civic Refugee Resettlement (private sponsorship) Program.
If you are ready to help a refugee, and you have a group of volunteers and have the necessary funds to support a newcomer for one year, please answer on the following questions to help us to match you with a refugee who need your help.
Please fill in the following questionnaire to enable us to provide you refugee families/ individuals from the database that might – more or less – closely match your expectations.
The more precisely you narrow down your search, the less chance you have to find exactly what you want. For example if you are looking for fast processing then the best is to leave most other options open and consult with us about upcoming arrivals. So leave blank the unimportant areas.
After the questions regarding to the refugee profile, please explain us your motivation and preparedness for the resettlement/ mentoring (sponsorship).
Please don’t be discouraged that the process is complex, expensive and time consuming… – there are still a lot to do and learn – but we will help you to overcome the difficulties.
We have in our data base preselected, screened refugees who need resettlement and have no other option. Only you.
