Observers

Organizations that support the general goals of the CCR but cannot appropriately join as full members may seek observer status. Observers do not have the right to vote, but otherwise enjoy the same privileges as members (notably mailings and lower registration rates at Consultations). The same fee scale as for members applies.

To apply to become an Observer, please fill out the CCR Observer application form and fill out and mail to the CCR with the required documents. The fee structure can be found on the second page of the form - it tells you what fee to pay according to your organization's budget.

Applications for Observer status, like membership, are subject to approval by the CCR Executive. For the Committee to evaluate a membership application from an organization the following information is needed:

  • a completed application form
  • the first year's membership fee
  • a copy of your organization's mission statement or constitution, or a description of the work it does relating to refugees and immigrants
  • a copy of the last completed financial report

Once we receive your completed application we will present it for approval to the next meeting of the CCR Executive Committee (at the time of the next Consultation or Working Group meeting, whichever comes first), and you will be informed of the outcome.
