Our Vision

Compassion and Justice for Refugees

Our Mission

Action Réfugiés Montréal is a strong voice for refugees in Montréal and beyond. As a not-for-profit, faith-inspired organization we seek justice for asylum-seekers and refugees.

Through our Detention, Sponsorship and Twinning programs we provide hope and assistance while raising awareness of refugee rights.  

About Our Charity

Three Programs That Make a Difference

With 7 staff members and the help of over 100 volunteers annually, ARM provides direct, person-to-person accompaniment that helps refugeed people start new lives in Canada.

• Detention Program: We help refugee claimants get the safety they are seeking and develop a sense of belonging in Canadian society. We visit the Immigration Holding Centre in Laval, Québec twice a week, where people are detained in jail-like conditions;
• Sponsorship Program: We help family members in Canada sponsor refugees to come to Canada;
• Twinning Program: We twin women refugees with long-term resident women to reduce isolation and promote interculturalism;
• Advocacy: ARM makes a strong commitment to Education and Advocacy through the work of our Director and staff.
