Members
To be eligible for CCR membership, your group must be a Canadian non-profit organization concerned for refugees and for the settlement in Canada of refugees and immigrants. For reasons of continuity, participation and commitment we seek organizations as Members. Individuals can become Associate Members.
To become a Member, please fill out the CCR Member application form online and attach the required documents. Check the fee scale to pay according to your organization's budget.
All membership applications must be approved by the CCR Executive Committee. For the Committee to evaluate a CCR membership candidate the following information is needed:
-
a completed application form, including attached copies 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
-
confirmation that your Board or Executive Committee has endorsed application for membership in the CCR (minutes from the relevant Board or Executive meeting are good)
-
- a cheque (or online payment if under $200) for the first year's membership
Once we receive your completed application, we will review it, do follow-ups with you as needed. We do membership application intake once a month and present all applications once they are reviewed for official approval to the monthly CCR Executive Committee meeting.
Other types of membership
The CCR also has other membership categories of membership:
- Associate Members for individuals who do not belong to a group or organizations which could become a member
- Observers for organizations that support the CCR's general goals, but which cannot formally join
- Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) outside Canada
