Formed by refugee advocates and community members, 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.
All FARE loans rely upon small donations from community members to reach a per adult loan of $550. This amount increases with each family member being included by refugees in their application for permanent residence in Canada.
Once approved by Canadian authorities as a refugee or "protected person", the applicant has 180 days from the date of the approval decision to raise the required processing fee and submit their application for permanent residence to Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
