I am an
LGBTQ+ Refugee Outside of Canada

MCC Toronto facilitates the sponsorship and resettlement of LGBTQ+ refugees to Canada. This is unfortunately a difficult and lengthy process with no guarantees.

Please note that we are not able to provide emergency solutions. If you are currently in danger, one of the following organizations may be able to help:

• Rainbow Railroad
• United Nations High Commission for Refugees

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE A CLOSED WAITLIST FOR ASSISTANCE. 

We have launched special initiatives for those from Ukraine and Afghanistan.

While we are working hard to help as many people as we can, you may also want to try one of these organizations for help:

• Rainbow Refugee
• Capital Rainbow Refuge
• End of the Rainbow Foundation
• Rainbow Refugee Association of Nova Scotia
• Marjan Foundation
• Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program – Sponsorship Agreement Holders
• The 519
• Black Coalition for AIDS Prevention
• Toronto People with AIDS Foundation
