Guide to the Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program

2. Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program

2.13 How does a group begin the sponsorship process?

Once a sponsoring group has been formed, it must obtain the appropriate CIC application kit which may be ordered from the Call Centre or downloaded from the CIC website. (See Appendix A for the telephone number and Web addresses.) Once completed, the undertaking and other relevant documents should be sent to the Citizenship and Immigration Centre serving the area where the group is based.

The sponsorship kits include:

• program information and instructions on completing the forms;
• the undertaking to sponsor;
• a settlement plan that outlines the settlement and financial arrangements in place to support the sponsored refugee;
• financial assessment forms for Groups of Five and Community Sponsors; and
• a document checklist.
