Sponsoring Refugees
As a Sponsorship Agreement Holder with the Government of Canada, we focus on assisting individuals and other churches in Alberta in submitting refugee applications. Every year the Canadian government allows FAC a certain number of sponsorship spaces for refugees. The spaces are limited, and we know the need is great. Our refugee sponsorship allocations are currently full. Please check back.
- Note: We do not accept walk-in appointments for refugee sponsorship. Please call Michelle Eng to book an appointment.

Supporting Refugees on Arrival
As a church, we also help refugees already sponsored by FAC when they arrive in Canada. There are so many ways we can help – from the official details and financial support, to helping with English skills, and simply building new friendships. Together, we can help make sponsored refugees feel welcome and a little less overwhelmed. Contact us to ask how you can help welcome FAC-sponsored refugees to Calgary, explore a list of items you can donate, or mark “refugee sponsorship” on your donation envelope to support a refugee family financially.
