Over the years, the FCJ Refugee Centre has become a leading expert on delivering trainings/webinars on immigration and settlement issues. As many refugee claimants and other vulnerable populations are moving to areas where services for claimants are limited or don’t exist, we are increasing trainings services.

We are providing remote services in small municipalities and rural areas across Canada, and we keep supporting organizations, agencies or communities that do not have the tools serving refugee claimants or other precarious populations.

FCJ Refugee Centre’s Capacity Development Training is a new tool for agencies across Canada who need support providing services to refugees and other vulnerable populations.

FCJ Refugee Centre’s Public Education Program addresses the current need for training opportunities for various sectors, including settement organizations, community groups, students, government institutions, etc.
