Imagine being able to transform someone’s life, providing them with hope, safety, and the chance for a fresh start. Canada’s Sponsorship Agreement Holder (SAH) program empowers everyday Canadians to do just that—privately sponsoring refugees in collaboration with trusted, government-approved organizations.

What Exactly is a Sponsorship Agreement Holder (SAH)?

SAHs are established Canadian groups—often humanitarian, religious, or community-based—authorized by the Canadian government to sponsor refugees. They provide vital structure, resources, and experience, ensuring sponsored refugees receive comprehensive support from their arrival through their first year of integration in Canada. Whether you already have a refugee in mind or wish to help someone identified by international agencies, partnering with a SAH is a reliable and meaningful choice.

Benefits of Sponsoring a Refugee through a Sponsorship Agreement Holder (SAH)

• Expert Support: SAHs offer professional guidance throughout the sponsorship process, ensuring paperwork, settlement plans, and integration efforts are effectively managed.
• Community Connection: Joining a SAH program connects you to a supportive network of volunteers, settlement workers, and dedicated community members, ensuring you never face challenges alone.
• Flexibility: Whether you wish to sponsor a specific refugee (such as a relative or friend) or help someone identified by refugee agencies, SAHs offer diverse sponsorship opportunities tailored to your goals.
• Reliability and Assurance: SAHs bear primary legal and financial responsibility for sponsorship, providing peace of mind with a clear plan and resources to assist refugees upon arrival.
