Sponsorship Programs

Connecting refugees with sponsors and resources to build a foundation for a new life.

OCRSS works closely with community groups, faith organizations, and individuals who wish to sponsor refugee families coming to Canada. We provide guidance on the private sponsorship process, help form sponsorship groups, and coordinate between sponsors and arriving families to ensure a warm, well-prepared welcome. Once families arrive, our settlement workers provide ongoing support — from housing and orientation to language services and employment guidance — so that every sponsored family has the foundation they need to succeed.
