Our Impact

overview

The CCR needs your support to continue:

Raising voices in favour of refugees The CCR speaks out about the impact on refugees of slow processing and unfair rules. We pay particular attention to the most vulnerable, including children.

Educating the public When Canadians know about the realities and contributions of refugees and immigrants, they welcome them into their communities.

Defending refugee rights in the courts The CCR ensures that the voice of refugees is heard in important court cases.

Reuniting families Many families are now reunited in Canada with some help from the CCR.

Engaging newcomer youth Newcomer youth have an enormous amount to contribute, when given the chance.

Facilitating networking across Canada The CCR connects organizations working across Canada to support refugees and immigrants. Together they share information, identify emerging issues and plan joint action to address the pressing issues affecting refugees and immigrants in Canada.
