Refugee Support

Sponsoring Refugees

As a Sponsorship Agreement Holder with the Government of Canada, we focus on assisting individuals in the local Calgary area with submitting refugee applications. Every year, the Canadian government grants FAC a certain number of sponsorship spaces for refugees. The spaces are limited, and we know the need is great. Our refugee sponsorship allocations are currently full. Please check back.

• Note: We do not accept walk-in appointments for refugee sponsorship. Please email Michelle Eng to book an appointment.

Looking for Sponsorship?

• At this time, we do not have the financial resources to assist with sponsorships. You must be able to provide all finances towards the sponsorship during the application process.
  • If you’d like to donate towards someone’s sponsorship, please mark “refugee sponsorship” on your donations, or email us for more info.
• Please make sure you are eligible, and that you have all of the required documents.
• If you are not located in Calgary, we are unable to help; please find a find an SAH near you in Canada.

Please Note: We are not accepting any more refugee applications at this time. We do not accept walk-in appointments for refugee sponsorship.

Supporting Refugees on Arrival

As a church, we also help refugees already sponsored by FAC when they arrive in Canada. There are so many ways we can help – from the official details and financial support to helping with English skills and simply building new friendships. Together, we can help make sponsored refugees feel welcome and a little less overwhelmed. Contact us to ask how you can help welcome FAC-sponsored refugees to Calgary, explore a list of items you can donate, or mark “refugee sponsorship” on your donation envelope to support a refugee family financially.
