Let’s work together to bring peace and protection to those that we can!!

COMPASS Refugee Centre is a leader in working with people seeking asylum in Canada. Your support ensures that people who are currently in the United States but seeking safety in Canada will not walk alone or in the dark.

We host the Canada-U.S. Border Rights clinic, a virtual legal clinic that can be accessed from anywhere in the States. It ensures people have the right information and are prepared to meet the expectations they will face at the border. We work to ensure that no one is turned back if they are legally permitted to enter Canada.

Once across, our experienced staff and volunteers work with people across dozens of towns and cities who have nowhere else to go. We provide support through Canada's protection process, helping people access legal support and translating critical evidence for refugee claims. We also connect people to a variety of service providers for shelter, food, employment, education, and so much more.

Once protected, we assist with the crucial work of being reunited with family members who had to be left behind on the original flight for safety. Thousands of people have had their lives restored because of the work of COMPASS.

As we look to the future, we see a world with few answers to growing problems. We see people driven from all they have known coming to Canada to be safe, to be well, and to have a chance for their next generation to thrive and not be refugees. Each pillar of our mission is designed for clear and meaningful action in response.

Please donate TODAY. Let’s work together to bring peace and protection to those that we can!!

Access to Border Justice: Virtual Legal Clinic

People seeking protection in Canada often come through the United States. For many, there is no other realistic way to reach safety, as the only land border is between these two countries. Crossing that border, however, is not straightforward. Strict rules apply, and a single mistake can put someone at risk of being turned away. That’s why COMPASS hosts the virtual Canada–U.S. Border Rights Clinic . This free legal clinic is available to anyone before they attempt to cross. It ensures people have accurate information, understand the conditions they must meet, and are properly prepared when they approach the Canadian border. Once they are allowed to enter Canada, many turn to COMPASS for vital support—help navigating the protection process and settling safely into welcoming communities. Canada’s border laws are confusing. Fear and uncertainty are constant companions for people who cannot remain in the United States and have nowhere else to go. Our clinic provides free legal information, advice, and training so they can make informed, life-changing decisions. They are scared. They are uncertain. They need safety. You can help them find it in Canada. A monthly gift ensures the clinic can remain present and available for those who need it most. A one-time gift of $250, $500, $1,000, or any amount you choose helps COMPASS deliver critical services—at the border and beyond. They have already come so far. And the impact is real: up to 90% of the people we help are granted protection in Canada. Your donation will make a difference.
