  GAY & LESBIAN (LGBT) Refugee Sponsorship Group at MCCT
Starter:   DanTrepanier
Date Created:  Jan 20, 2006
Country:  Canada
City:  Toronto
[view] 		Description:   OUR MISSION: TO ACT AS A SPONSOR FOR THOSE PERSONS WHO WANT TO ESCAPE THE PERSECUTION AND CLAIM REFUGEE STATUS IN CANADA BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF SEXUAL ORIENTATION Dear Friends, Thank you...
Goals:   An additional success factor is to become a “Sponsorship Agreement Holder” (SAH) registered with the Canadian Government. Our first several sponsorships will be under the umbrella of the United Church’s SAH. Our objective is to obtain this designation within 5 years. What would excellence for this program look like? Excellence would be providing integrity to the refugee selection process, representing MCCT honorably to the Canadian government and legal community, and providing compassionate settlement assistance to the refugees.
