Petition: Tell the Canadian Government to Restore Shelter Funding for Refugees

Thousands of refugees in Toronto could soon be without shelter. The Canadian government is cutting $107 million in funding . That means 1,800 fewer beds for people who have nowhere else to go.

Since 2017, the feds have covered 95% of refugee shelter costs, recognizing that immigration is a federal responsibility. In 2025, they have said they will only pay 26%. Sign this petition to demand Prime Minister Mark Carney and your local MP to deliver the necessary funding.

Supporting the campaign: The Canada We Believe In

This campaign is a call from the settlement sector for renewed leadership on immigration. We encourage you to show your support for this call. Together, we can push for clear and coordinated immigration programs, better support for refugees and newcomers, and reaffirmation to Canada’s commitment to inclusion.

In the wake of the recent expansion of the Safe Third Country Agreement, join the call for Canada to withdraw from the Agreement.

CCR proposes measures that will set refugees up for success in Canadian society, at a fraction of the cost that is currently spent on emergency measures.

The CCR is calling on the Canadian government to establish a standard of 6 months to reunite separated children with a parent in Canada. Support the CCR’s call by contacting your MP!
