Other Sponsorship of Refugee Program
In addition to private sponsorship of refugee programs, the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) also provides for Blended Visa Office-Referred (BVOR) Program, Other Visa Office-Referred (VOR) Program, Joint Assistance Sponsorship (JAS) program, Urgent Protection Program (UPP) to sponsor refugees and persons in refugee-like situations from outside Canada.
Blended Visa Office-Referred (BVOR) Program matches refugees referred for resettlement by the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) with private sponsors in Canada.
Other Visa Office-Referred (VOR) Program enables sponsoring groups to sponsor refugees from populations other than those identified under the Blended Visa Office-Referred (BVOR) Program.
The Joint Assistance Sponsorship (JAS) program enables Sponsorship Agreement Holders (SAHs) to partner with the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) in the resettlement of Government-Assisted Refugees who are identified as having special needs.
The Urgent Protection Program (UPP) enables Canada to respond to requests by referral organizations, such as the UNHCR, to provide rapid resettlement for refugees in urgent need of protection.
If you are interested to know whether you can sponsor refugees and persons in refugee-like situations from outside Canada under any of the above sponsorship of refugee programs, please contact your own Canadian Immigration Lawyer Bikramjit Singh to schedule a consultation meeting to get step by step guide for these programs.
