We are proud to share that CMT has officially become a Sponsorship Agreement Holder (SAH) with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). As a SAH, CMT is authorized to submit refugee sponsorship applications under the Private Sponsorship of Refugees (PSR) program.

How Our SAH Sponsorship Works

We work exclusively with Canadian co-sponsors and sponsoring groups who wish to sponsor a refugee or refugee family from abroad. If you are a refugee seeking sponsorship, please ask someone in Canada to contact us on your behalf.

Before You Begin

We welcome your interest in supporting refugees through sponsorship. Please note that this program is only open to individuals or groups currently based in Canada who wish to sponsor a refugee or refugee family.

To get started, kindly complete the qualifying form below.

Please Note:

  • We do not work directly with refugees or accept unsolicited applications from refugees abroad.

  • We respond only to Canadian-based co-sponsors or sponsoring groups ready to take responsibility for the sponsorship process and settlement support.
