Jill wants to help
Syrian refugees coming to Canada.  
However, she can’t commit to 
the criteria of Canada’s  
Private Sponsor program.

CanSponsor helps foster meaningful connections
between sponsors and refugee families by
matching them based on location and mutual
interests.
A much more accessible and flexible way for
Canadians that want to help refugees but can’t
commit to the time and/or cost of the
government’s Private Sponsor program.
