As part of Canada’s Refugees Programs are considered the following:

• RESETTLEMENT FROM OUTSIDE CANADA

CIC relies on the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), other referral organizations and private sponsorship groups to find and refer refugees to be resettled in Canada.

• SPONSOR A REFUGEE

You can sponsor refugees from abroad who qualify to come to Canada. Sponsors must provide financial and emotional assistance for refugees once they arrive in Canada.

• CLAIM REFUGEE PROTECTION FROM INSIDE CANADA

If you feel that you will be persecuted or at risk if you return to your home country, you may be able to seek protection in Canada as a refugee.
