RECV, the SAH is an organization authorized by the Canadian government (IRCC) to help privately sponsor refugees.
Our work primarily focuses on assisting refugees who are seeking resettlement in Canada. As religious organization, we help our member to privately sponsor their extended family members, relatives and friends. We can sponsor only refugees outside of their home countries and individuals who cannot return to their home country due to a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, political opinion, and nationality.
Those refugees can be freely sponsored by RECV and Upon arrival, they are legally entitled to work.
Settlement Support:
• Once refugees arrive in Canada, RECV provide them with crucial support services like housing, financial assistance, settlement orientation, and access to language classes.
• They ensure refugees understand Canadian culture, society, and their rights and responsibilities in Canada.
Fundraising and Financial Support:
RECV, the SAH often engage in fundraising within their communities or through donations to support the refugees they sponsor. They need to cover the refugees’ basic needs for the duration of the sponsorship (usually up to one year or until the refugees can support themselves).
Collaboration with Community and Government:
RECV often collaborate with local communities and government bodies to ensure refugees’ smooth integration into Canadian society. They might coordinate with local employers, educational institutions, and healthcare providers to ensure refugees’ access to services.
In essence, the work of RECV is integral to Canada’s refugee resettlement system, as they bridge the gap between refugees and the services they need to successfully integrate into Canadian society.
