About
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), also known as the UN Refugee Agency, is the world's leading organization aiding and protecting people forced to flee their homes due to violence, conflict and persecution. UNHCR provides shelter, food, water, medical care and other life-saving assistance to refugees around the world.
In 1976, UNHCR Representation opened its doors in Canada to fulfil these roles. Our offices in Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver strive to fulfill four main objectives in Canada: achieve the highest standards of protection for refugees and asylum seekers in Canada, work with the Canadian government to resettle refugees in Canada, inform and educate Canadians about the global displacement crisis, and to encourage the Canadian public and Government of Canada to donate to UNHCR programs worldwide.

Le HCR a été créé en 1950 par l'Assemblée générale des Nations Unies. Son mandat comporte deux volets : protéger les réfugiés et apporter des solutions à leurs problèmes. La Convention des Nations Unies relative au statut des réfugiés de 1951 donne au HCR une fonction de surveillance, afin d'assurer que chaque État applique la Convention.
En 1976, la représentation du HCR a ouvert ses portes au Canada afin de remplir ces rôles. Depuis, les agences d'Ottawa, de Montréal et de Toronto se sont efforcées de remplir quatre objectifs principaux au Canada : Protection, Réinstallation, Sensibilisation et collecte de fonds.
