General Information

Canada’s response to the situation in Afghanistan (Government of Canada Resources)

Canadian Campaign for Afghan Peace's Afghanistan Resource Guide was created to serve as a central online Resource Hub for information on the Afghan refugee resettlement process compiled by Afghan Youth Engagement and Development Initiative (AYEDI). It contains information on Humanitarian Relief Campaigns, Afghan Legal Professionals, Settlement Services, etc. It is a live Google document so you can also make suggestions for resources to add.

Lifeline Afghanistan: Lifeline Afghanistan is a non-partisan network of individuals and organizations responding to the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. Primarily, Lifeline Afghanistan is focused on engaging Canadians in supporting the private sponsorship and in developing innovative strategies to provide social and economic opportunities for Afghan refugees to Canada. Building on the successful support for mobilization of Indochinese refugees through Operation Lifeline (1979) and for Syrian refugees through Operation Lifeline Syria (2015), Lifeline Afghanistan aims to complement these existing initiatives so that Afghan refugees can be supported socially and economically thereby enriching the communities and landscapes of Canada.
