Thanks for the clarification, Paul. I was referring to groups. I listened to a discussion this morning with Matt Galloway on CBC news this morning which will be available later and well worth hearing.<br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature">

<div dir="auto">Just a clarification. With regards to the pause on refugee sponsorship, it specifically affects two types of privately sponsored refugees - Those sponsored by “A group of 5” And those sponsored by a community. The pause or stoppage does not
affect privately sponsored refugees, who are sponsored by a family member and assisted by a group like us Spiritains as Sponsorship Agreement Holders (SAH). However, the government has, of course, even cut back on the number of applications we will be allowed
to submit. We are still going ahead submitting applications this year and will do so next year, but with fewer cases that we will be able to deal with. <br clear="all">

It is unbelievable that Canada has suddenly ‘paused’ its private refugee sponsorship programme. I had not realized that our programme was unique in the world.
<br>
Some believe the ‘pause’ may be a misnomer, and it may result in the end of the programme.<br>
Mario, perhaps this is a good time to update us on ‘our’ family. <br>
