RefugePoint partners with refugees to help them access lasting solutions and transforms how the world supports them.
In partnership with the Canadian government, RefugePoint has been helping refugees access legal pathways to safety in Canada for more than 15 years. These pathways to safety include resettlement, labor mobility, and family reunification.
Join our community to deliver lasting solutions for refugees and help them to build secure, new lives.
When someone is forced to flee their home from war, violence, or persecution, they remain a refugee for an average of 20+ years. Refugees often remain in limbo, unable to realize their full potential and forced to rely on humanitarian aid for survival. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Since our founding, RefugePoint has helped tens of thousands of refugees find hope through resettlement and other pathways to safety. Our goal is to help refugees move from being dependent on aid to being self-reliant—from living in danger to living in safety. Join our community to deliver lasting solutions for refugees and help them to build secure, new lives.
For many refugees, the ability to return home or safely remain in the country to which they’ve fled is not an option. We help refugees who can’t remain safely where they are to permanently relocate to a safe, new country to rebuild their lives, including Canada.
RefugePoint’s labor mobility program is one of the first of its kind in the world—helping to match qualified refugees in Kenya with employers in Canada and then supporting them throughout the process of immigrating with their families. This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada.
Since its founding, RefugePoint has helped families reunite and supported unaccompanied and separated children. Our staff members work in countries around the world to help separated families—including unaccompanied and separated children—to reunite in Canada and other countries. We are also building a global network to advance family reunion.

“When I get to Canada, I want to improve my skills to be a full nurse and help fellow refugees who are still in the camps. My hope is that I’m going to a multicultural country and environment, and I’m going to enjoy my freedom, which I did not have before.”
Abisi
“This opportunity is a big one for us. There are so many people searching for this opportunity. Life was not easy. Working as a hairdresser to provide for my siblings was tough. I would often wonder: What is their future? What is our future? But this resettlement means a lot to us.”

“I have lived in the United States for 24 years, but I have never had an immediate family live with me. I have always wished for this — to have my family members in one place. It feels really good to wake up every morning knowing that we’re under the same roof.”
Mangok
“I will become a light to my family, community, and everyone. If I tell you what the Economic Mobility Pathway means, it means life to us.”
Mark
“I am very happy to go there because when I get there, I’ll be able to, in my language, they call it ‘to add a stone,’ which means for me to go there, I am also going to build Canada. I want Canada to see that I did not go there to waste time or to eat or to receive free money, but I’m going there to build, to build the country because that is where my country will be.”

“Putting a name to the endless numbers we read about in the news and in the media is life-changing. To see the faces of the [refugees] and the team that supports them brings to life the intricate, compassionate, and complex workings of RefugePoint... With RefugePoint so many no longer have to risk their lives to find sanctuary and safety. As long as our Foundation is around we will continue to support Sasha and his team.”
