Group of Five Campaign (G5C): Sponsor a Refugee(s)
Group of Five Campaign (G5C) is five or more Canadian citizens or permanent residents who want to arrange to sponsor a refugee(s) living abroad to come to Canada. All of the group members must be at least 18 years of age and live or have representatives in the area where the refugee will settle.
The group must agree to give emotional and financial support to the refugee(s) for the full sponsorship period-usually one year.
It’s true, anytime you travel in the world these days, you can easily catch a new bug and your body immediately becomes weak as it tries to fight off the invading pathogen while a prescription for antibiotics won’t necessarily work and are completely ineffective at fighting off the so-called super strains that make the evening news. However, over 250,000 new immigrants each year, despite the risks, make their way to Canada for a better life, to avail of a world class education system, strong and stable economy, and a free universal healthcare system.
