International Association For Refugees CANADA

IAFR was established in response to the need for an international Christian non-profit agency devoted to the mission of helping people survive and recover from forced displacement. We do this in partnership with local churches, refugees churches around the world, and the church-at-large. IAFR Canada operates in partnership with The Peoples Church in Toronto.​
