Private Sponsorship

We support community groups wishing to engage in private sponsorship under the Group of Five (G5) sponsorship stream with the preparation of their refugee sponsorship application in the following ways: 

• We provide orientation and information on the G5 sponsorship processes including an explanation of eligibility criteria and the various application requirements. 
• We download and share the G5 sponsorship application forms and provide support to G5 sponsors with understanding the sponsorship undertaking and settlement plan details. 
• We provide information on financial requirements and review completed forms and supporting documents for accuracy and completeness. 
• When the refugees arrived to Ottawa, we continue to support these families with their settlement and integration processes.
