The African Centre for Refugees in Ontario-Canada

The African Centre for Refugees in Ontario-Canada provides settlement and integration services to refugee and immigrant communities in Toronto. The organization delivers language training, employment support, housing assistance, and cultural orientation programs to help newcomers establish themselves in Canada. Staff and volunteers work with African refugees and other immigrant populations to navigate the complexities of resettlement, connect with community resources, and build pathways to self-sufficiency. The centre also offers counseling and trauma-informed support for individuals who have experienced displacement. Through its programs, the organization addresses barriers to employment, education, and social participation while fostering social cohesion and mutual understanding between refugee communities and the broader Toronto population.
