Refugee applications Autumn 2024 update


Vancouver Unitarians Sponsorship Agreement Holder (VanU-SAH) operates under rules guided by the IRCC and we work with co-sponsors to sponsor refugees under the Private Sponsorship of Refugees program.

Interviews were held to screen new co-sponsor candidates for our waiting list on September 1, 2024 and September 8, 2024. Our waiting list is now very long and we are not accepting new requests.

The waiting list is closed until September 2027

Each year the IRCC agency of the Government of Canada allocates a limited number of spaces to VanU-SAH and unfortunately this is already much less than our waiting list. We are sad to say that we cannot help you right now.

In the mean time other avenues may be available to you. You can find information on the IRCC website here:
