NO REFUGEE
SHOULD WALK ALONE

THE LONELY JOURNEY

Each year, thousands of refugees arrive in Canada seeking safety after fleeing crises, only to face an overwhelmingly complex system that leaves them completely alone. The problem feels so big that it can leave you overwhelmed and powerless, asking, “What can I do?” We believe that no one fleeing crises should ever have to face the journey toward safety alone.

THE COMPASS COMMUNITY

Since 1987, the COMPASS community has walked alongside thousands of refugees who came to Canada expecting safety but found themselves alone without help in a complex system. We have helped over 13,000 people from more than 80 countries navigate the system with a success rate of over 90%. We know what it takes to help people move from border to belonging.
