Canada deaf to persecuted Christians' cries
Date posted: July 22, 2022
The protection of persecuted Christians (and other faith minorities) is not at the summit of the Canadian government’s priorities. This was glaringly obvious to me as I attended the Summit on International Religious Freedom, hosted recently in Washington by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.

Date Posted, July 18, 2022
Immigration Canada (IRCC) has just announced to Sponsorship Agreement Holders (SAHs) their allocation for 2022, which is the number of refugees that a SAH is able to sponsor this year. In the coming weeks we will be submitting applications to IRCC that we have already received from cosponsors. Since we have fulfilled our allocation for this year, we are unable to process any additional applications.
We encourage you to monitor our website for further information on the Public Session Registration, which we plan to hold later this year.
Building the Future with Migrants and Refugees: a future to build together
Date posted: July 4, 2022
Building the future with migrants and refugees is the theme chosen by Pope Francis for the 108th World Day of Migrants & Refugees (WDMR). In order to walk together towards the WDMR, which will be celebrated on Sunday, September 25, 2022, the Migrants and Refugees Section (M&R) is setting up an itinerary that begins with the Holy Father's Message, where he emphasizes the fact that a better future is only possible if it is achieved together with the most vulnerable. Pope Francis reflects on the sub-theme "a future to build together" and involves us by directly asking us a question. Along with the Holy Father’s, there is also a witness from His Eminence Cardinal Francesco Montenegro, who shares his experience of living together with migrants on the island of Lampedusa.

Update on Ukrainian Crisis
Date posted: March 23, 2022
With almost 4 million Ukrainian refugees hosted in Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, and Moldova, many are asking what can be done to assist them. The following is an overview of current and potential options to assist.
Ukrainian Relief Fund: In addition to praying for the situation, the Archdiocese of Toronto has created the Ukrainian Relief Fund to help suffering Ukrainians. Funds raised will be directed to ORAT and CNEWA (Catholic Near East Welfare Association). This fund will provide humanitarian aid and refugee resettlement support to Ukrainians. Donations can be made online by clicking here, or through parish donations, when the donation is designated to the Ukrainian Relief Fund.
Current Immigration Pathways:
- Immigration Canada Pathways: At present, the Ministry of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has not established a refugee resettlement pathway for Ukrainians. Instead, they have created a number of programs to assist Ukrainian nationals, including an expedited travel visa process. Click here for further information on this program. For information on other IRCC programs, click here.
- Ontario Pathways: Ontario’s Minister responsible for Immigration, Monte McNaughton announced a 5-point action plan to welcome those fleeing the crisis. Among the programs is Ontario’s Immigrant Nominee Program. For further information, please visit our website at orat.ca and search for the March 15th post entitled “Provincial Nominee Program Now Prioritizing Ukrainian Applicants”.
Hosting a Ukrainian Family: We have received a number of inquiries from those who expressed a desire to host a Ukrainian family travelling to Canada under the expedited visa process. We are currently in discussions with both Ukrainian Catholic and Orthodox eparchies to explore how to facilitate this work. We will provide further updates on this program as details emerge.
Refugee Resettlement: Once IRCC establishes a refugee pathway for Ukrainian nationals, ORAT is ready to launch a multi-pronged strategy to assist refugees, including:
- Parishioner Sponsored Family Program (family linked cases): ORAT will launch a program to assist parishioners of Latin Rite, Ukrainian Catholic, and Ukrainian Orthodox parishes who wish to sponsor a family member that has fled Ukraine. These sponsorships are fully funded by the sponsoring family, who will also work to welcome and help integrate their sponsored family;
- Parish Sponsorship of a Ukrainian family (sponsoring the stranger program): ORAT will conduct mission trips to neighbouring countries of Ukraine that are hosting refugees. We will select families to sponsor who have no family link in the west that are able to support them. These families will be matched with parishes and community groups throughout the Archdiocese who wish to sponsor a family. While limited funds are available to sponsor these families, fundraising efforts are encouraged from participating groups.
Please let us know if you would be interested in participating in the “Hosting a Ukrainian Family” program and/or in the “Parish Sponsorship of a Ukrainian Family” program. Kindly send your response by email to oratrefugeeoffice@archtoronto.org using the subject line “Help Ukraine”. Further information on these programs will be provided as details emerge.
IRCC Announces a Further Delay for 2022 Submissions

It was also announced that submissions at that time may be significantly restricted.
For those that have begun the refugee sponsorship process with ORAT in late 2021 or in 2022, we ask that you continue to exercise patience, that you monitor our website for further updates, and that you refrain from contacting our office to inquire about any 2022 cases.

Lent
Date posted: March 2, 2022
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Season of Lent, in which all Catholics are called to prepare for the celebration of the Paschal Mystery; that is the passion, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Lent continues for 40 days until the beginning of the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday evening. The forty days represents the time Jesus spent in the wilderness, enduring the temptation of Satan and preparing to begin his ministry.
Lent is a privileged time for prayer, fasting and almsgiving, providing an opportunity for Catholics to renew and deepen their relationship with Jesus, and to amend their lives, so that they might live as He taught.
On this Ash Wednesday, and in response to the tragedy unfolding in Ukraine, Pope Francis has asked that all believers pray and fast for peace in this troubled part of the world. “I encourage believers in a special way to dedicate themselves intensely to prayer and fasting on this day. May the Queen of Peace preserve the world from the madness of war.”
Wishing you a blessed and fruitful Lent.

Statement from the CCCB on the Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Date Posted: March 1, 2022
The Executive Committee of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) condemns the escalation of tensions and violence in the Ukraine marked by Russia’s invasion, which was seen today, Thursday, February 24, 2022, in the form of militarization and bombing in various Ukrainian cities.
In solidarity with the Head of the Ukrainian Catholic Church, His Beatitude Sviatoslav Shevchuk, in unison with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, with the people of Ukraine as well as with Canadians of Ukrainian origin and descent, we encourage the faithful and all people of good will to pray for the imminent restoration of peace, dialogue and human fraternity.
Conscious of the regrettable lessons about violence which we have all learned throughout human history, we implore all involved to pursue non-violent means to resolve disputes and disagreements. The use of military force does not favour dialogue and peace; rather, it endangers innocent human life, the dignity of the human person and the security and safety of all the people caught up in this conflict.
Jesus came to bring the gift of peace, and it is through Him that new pathways of dialogue can be opened, even when all other avenues appear closed. With Pope Francis, who has entrusted this situation to the intercession of Mary, the Mother of God, we ask Our Lady, through her powerful intercession, to open hearts so that anger, resentment and division may start to be healed and that any further escalation of unnecessary violence may be avoided.
Update on 2022 Submissions
Date Posted: February 1, 2022
In the fall of each year, ORAT begins its work to register cases for the upcoming submission year. In the past several years, Immigration Canada has allowed Private Sponsors to start submitting cases as early as January 1st. Unfortunately, this is not the case this year. Immigration Canada is currently not accepting refugee sponsorship applications from Private Sponsors. We are waiting on Immigration Canada to announce to Sponsorship Agreement Holders (SAH) when they can begin to submit applications.
For those that have begun the process with ORAT in late 2021, we ask that you continue to exercise patience. We will announce when Immigration Canada begins accepting applications. In the meanwhile, we would ask that you monitor our website for updates and that you not contact our office to inquire about the status of your case.
It is also important to note that Immigration Canada is currently experiencing a 12 week delay in processing cases (i.e., cases that were submitted in 2021). Under normal circumstances, Immigration Canada issues Approval Letters and G Numbers 1-2 weeks after receiving the application. This is now taking up to 12 weeks.

We are currently waiting on Immigration Canada to provide us with further information on the 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐟𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 (OAS) program. Once we have received this information we will proceed with the draw.
We would like to thank all registrants for their continued patience, as we await further information from Immigration Canada.

General Public Registration & information on Operation Afghan Safety
Date Posted: December 24, 2021
ORAT is pleased to announce the details of the following two refugee resettlement programs. Cosponsors for both programs must reside in the Greater Toronto Area.
- General Public Registration: This program is intended for member of the General Public who wish to sponsor family members who are in need of refugee resettlement. This programs is not intended for cosponsors who are parishioners of Catholic Churches, or of Eastern Rite Catholic or Orthodox churches within the Archdiocese of Toronto, with whom ORAT has developed specific programs for its members; and
- Operation Afghan Safety: This program has been developed in conjunction with Immigration Canada as a response to the unfolding refugee crisis in Afghanistan. This special program is intended to assist those who wish to sponsor an Afghan refugee from specific vulnerable populations, which Immigration Canada has defined.
Online registration will take place simultaneously for both programs and will begin on Monday, January 3, 2022 at 12:01AM and will close on Sunday, January 9, 2022 at 11:59PM.
If you wish to sponsor a refugee for either program, please click on the following link: https://intro-to-resettlement-public-2022.eventbrite.ca.
Given the expected high level of demand for these programs, registrants will be limited to sponsor 1 (one) family. Families, as defined by the Ministry of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), are comprised of mother, father and dependent children under the age of 22. Exceptions may be granted to those who wish to sponsor more than one family when there are compelling reasons to do so. Please note that we will not consider any changes to the name of the Cosponsor or the name of the Principal Applicant (i.e., head of the refugee family) once the registration form has been completed.
Also, it is important to note that registering for these programs is NOT a guarantee that you will be able to sponsor through ORAT. Given the limited allocation given to ORAT by Immigration Canada for each program, and the expected large number of registrants, ORAT will be holding a draw for each program. All registrants within each program have an equal chance of being selected and invited to attend the “Introduction to Resettlement” Information Session. Only those with winning draw numbers will be invited to attend the online information session. For those invited, attendance is mandatory, marking the first step in sponsoring a refugee family through this office.
While Refugee sponsorship is not without cost, there is NO fee for registering for this program. However, those cosponsors that are allowed to proceed with the sponsorship process, will be required to deposit 100% of the liability with ORAT prior to the case being submitted to IRCC. These monies are held in trust for the refugee and are disbursed on a quarterly basis upon their arrival to Canada. We ask that you not register if you are unable to deposit the required monies.
The estimated average processing time for Immigration Canada for applications submitted to them in 2022 is 3 years. The table below outlines the estimated cost of sponsorship for refugees that arrive to Canada in 2025. Please note that additional monies are required to sponsor senior citizens. A table of these additional costs has also been provided.

Quarantine Requirements for Privately Sponsored Refugees Q&A
Date Posted: October 25, 2021
Question: When is a PSR newcomer exempt from the requirement to quarantine? Is there any documentation provided to the newcomer in this regard?
Answer: Immigrant Reception & Information Services (IRIS) at Toronto Pearson Airport provide assistance to all Government Assisted Refugees and Privately Sponsored Refugees. Travelers who have been exempt from the mandatory quarantine are given a handout titled “Mandatory Requirements for Fully Vaccinated Travelers without COVID-19 Symptoms Arriving in Canada by Land, Air, or Water.” However, Immigrant Reception & information Services (IRIS) has indicated that they have not seen a lot of resettled refugees (PSRs and GARs) receive this document.
Question: What is the meaning of the circular lime-green ‘PHAC’ sticker that has been placed on a newcomer’s Single Journey Travel Document?
Answer: Immigration Reception & Information Services (IRIS) advised that when the travelers, including resettled refugees, are told they are exempted from quarantine, the CBSA officer will put a lime green circle sticker (printed with PHAC) on their documents, so, they will not need to line up to receive the COVID-19 test at the airport and quarantine. There are security guards checking every passenger’s document before they are permitted to go outside to the public area. Please note that this is the current procedure at the Toronto Pearson Airport.
Special Program for Afghans Who Assisted Canada
Date Posted: August 30, 2021
In response to the unfolding situation in Afghanistan; Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) initiated a special program to help Afghanis. This program aims to resettle Afghan nationals from within Afghanistan whose employment involved a significant and/or enduring relationship with the Government of Canada, which could be, but is not limited to:
- Interpreters who worked with the Canadian Armed Forces
- Local staff who currently or used to work at the Embassy of Canada in Afghanistan
Recently, IRCC has updated the eligibility requirements for this special program. Right now, Afghan nationals do not need to currently be in Afghanistan to apply for this program. If they and/or their family members leave or have left Afghanistan (on or after July 22, 2021), they may still apply if invited to do so, and their application will still be processed under the Government-Assisted Refugees Program.
Applicants do not need to return to Afghanistan to finalize their application or to provide biometrics or have a medical exam.

ORAT's Sponsor Resource Toolbox
Date Posted: June 15, 2020
As part of our continued effort to support sponsors in their work to settle and integrate newcomers to Canada, we have put together a toolbox of information about various aspects of settlement, as well as links to some of the most commonly provided services for newcomers. This information has been compiled into a kit entitled the "Sponsor Resource Toolbox", and is intended to be a quick reference tool for Constituent Groups (CGs) and Cosponsors to locate services for their newcomers. It is our hope that along with the CG Handbook, the Sponsor Resource Toolbox will assist you in the work of settling newcomers within the Archdiocese of Toronto.
The Sponsor Resource Toolbox is a searchable pdf document, and is designed to be as accessible as possible. By simply clicking on the relevant subject matter in the Table of Contents, the user is automatically brought to the corresponding section in the toolbox.
To access this document, visit the "Resources" section on ORAT's website or click on the following link: https://www.archtoronto.org/refugee/Documents/O%20Sponsor%20Resource%20Toolbox%2011-Jun-20.pdf

CG Handbook (NEWLY RELEASED)
Date Posted: May 29, 2020
Thank you to the many people involved in refugee resettlement, who through their tireless efforts have supported refugees sponsored through the Office for Refugees at the Archdiocese of Toronto (ORAT).
In an effort to help current and future sponsors, we have developed the Constituent Group (CG) Handbook. In a special way, this resource has been developed to assist CG's who are making use of donated funds and who are sponsoring refugees that ORAT has named through its overseas missions (i.e., Project Hope cases). At the same time, we believe that it is a helpful resource for sponsors who have named their own refugee.
The handbook provides CGs with a framework, principles, best practices and over-arching information on various aspects of refugee sponsorship. It provides CGs with an approach that helps the refugee achieve the best possible outcome and helps to ensure for the long-term sustainability of the Private Sponsorship of Refugees program. The best practices have been gathered from CGs throughout the Archdioceses and from our own experience, having seen what has worked and what has not worked.
To obtain the document, visit the "Resources" section on ORAT's website or click on the following link: https://www.archtoronto.org/refugee/Documents/O%20CG%20Handbook%2028-May-20.pdf.
The document, as a searchable pdf document, is designed to be as accessible as possible. Simply click on the relevant subject matter outlined in the table of contents and you will automatically be brought to that section in the handbook.
It is our hope that this document will be a help for you and assist you in the work of refugee resettlement. Please let us know if you have any feedback and/or suggestions on how to improve the document. You can contact us at (416) 934-3400 x804 or by email at oratouteach@archtoronto.org
