International Christian Voice is a Canadian registered charity. Your donation funds housing, healthcare, and a full year of resettlement for a persecuted refugee family. Tax receipts issued for gifts of $20 CAD or more.
Based on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) cost tables that govern every refugee sponsorship we submit — here is exactly what each donation level funds in a family’s first Canadian year.
The small daily freedom of knowing you can afford to get to work, school, and medical appointments.
The first real meals in freedom — cooked in a kitchen they can finally call their own.
Confidence in job interviews. The ability to read a lease. A child who can help translate at the doctor’s office.
The most expensive line item in a sponsorship budget — and the foundation of everything else that follows.
Three months of housing, food, transportation, integration support, and community for one individual rebuilding their life.
The IRCC-mandated amount to bring one refugee from persecution to permanent residency — soup to nuts, with your name on the sponsorship.
The simplest way to support the work. Your gift flows directly into ICV’s general fund or the active Tariq & Javed campaign — your choice. Tax receipt issued for gifts of $20+ CAD.
The most powerful way to give. Predictable monthly support lets ICV plan sponsorships years in advance — when you commit monthly, you’re not funding a single moment, you’re funding a system.
For churches, families, or community groups ready to partner with ICV as a cosponsor. We handle IRCC paperwork and federal undertaking. You provide the financial support and welcome for a refugee family.
From online card and Interac e-Transfer, to a cheque in the mail — ICV accepts every common Canadian giving method. Tax receipts ($20+ CAD) are issued for all of them.
