Community Matters has acted as a Constituent Group and has sponsored refugees from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and The Democratic Republic of The Congo for over 15 years. Through our present services we partner with volunteer groups, throughout the GTA. The volunteer od Constituent Groups provide financial and settlement support for refugees and their families during their first year in Canada.
Constituent groups can be formed through community and social groups, or families. We work closely with these groups to ensure that refugees receive a smooth welcome and are connected with proper resources to support their settlement process here in Canada.

Support for refugees
Canada’s private sponsorship of refugees is one means by which we express our humanitarian traditions with respect to displaced and persecuted persons. It provides an opportunity for the voluntary sector to extend Canada’s capacity to resettle Convention Refugees and Humanitarian-Protected Persons Abroad through supporting government resettlement initiatives and through directly supporting the resettlement of refugees.
As Canadians we are encouraged to become involved in the resettlement of refugees whose admission to Canada depends upon the support of a sponsor.
As a Sponsorship Agreement Holder, we are continuing a tradition of dedication by the voluntary sector to resettle and integrate refugees into Canadian society. Through their offers of financial, human resources and moral support, Canadians provide refugees with a foundation on which to build their new lives in Canada.
Our involvement demonstrates a commitment to continuing Canada’s humanitarian traditions.
Let’s Help Each Other Get Ready for Canada
Free Online English Classes for Afghan Girls and Boys
Education can be a powerful first step toward a new and hopeful future.
We are providing free online English classes for Afghan girls and boys who have been deprived of education or are currently unable to attend language courses because of financial difficulties, lack of valid visas, displacement, and the challenging circumstances faced by Afghan refugees in Pakistan.
Some of the students in this program are also individuals and families who have ongoing applications or immigration processes in Canada and are currently waiting in Pakistan. For these students, learning English is more than simply learning a language. It is an opportunity to prepare for a new chapter in their lives.
By improving their English communication skills, students can become more confident in communicating with people from different backgrounds and be better prepared to participate in Canadian society when they eventually arrive. The program aims to help them take their first steps toward education, employment, social integration, and a more independent future.
Beyond language education, we want to create a supportive and positive learning environment where students can temporarily step away from the stress, anxiety, uncertainty, and isolation they may be experiencing. Through learning, connection, and encouragement, we hope to help them regain confidence, discover new motivation, and believe again in their ability to move forward.
We believe that we are all human beings, and during difficult times, we should stand beside one another—regardless of gender, race, nationality, or background.
