📍 Who Needs This Form?

This form must be completed by organizations that hold a Sponsorship Agreement Holder (SAH) status and are undergoing the required organizational assessment with IRCC. SAHs are entities that have signed a sponsorship agreement with the Government of Canada and are responsible for sponsoring refugees under the Private Sponsorship of Refugees program.

🧠 What the Assessment Involves

As part of the SAH organizational assessment, IRCC reviews key aspects of the organization, including:

  • Organizational structure and governance
  • Financial capacity to support sponsorship activities
  • Settlement support capacity for sponsored refugees
  • Risk mitigation and monitoring processes
  • Compliance with existing sponsorship agreement obligations

📅 When This Assessment Happens

SAHs typically undergo this organizational assessment periodically, for example in the year prior to the expiry of their Sponsorship Agreement, as part of revalidation and risk analysis. Successful completion of the assessment is needed for continued participation in refugee sponsorship.

📌 Tips for Completing

  • Gather detailed information about your organization’s governance, finances and support services.
  • Attach required supporting documents showing audits, policies and settlement resources.
  • Ensure accuracy and completeness to avoid delays in the SAH revalidation process.
  • Submit according to IRCC’s instructions or contact IRCC for clarification if needed.

📌 What Happens Next?

After submitting IMM 0167 and supporting documents, IRCC assesses them to determine whether the SAH can maintain its sponsorship agreement and continue sponsoring refugees under the PSR program. Results may influence future sponsorship capacities and compliance requirements.
