Welcome!

Fee Assistance for Refugee Establishment (FARE) is a non-profit, registered Canadian charitable organization dedicated to respecting the dignity of refugees in Canada by helping them to secure permanent residence status as soon as possible.

FARE aims to achieve this goal by raising funds and making interest-free loans to low-income refugees who require assistance to pay the $550 per adult processing fees associated with permanent residence applications.

Thanks to everyone who made our 2006 Bowlathon fundraiser such a great success! Together we raised over $9,000, all of which helps us make loans to refugee families in need. Click below if you would like to make a donation.
