What is a Sponsorship Agreement Holder (SAH)?

• A Sponsorship Agreement Holder (SAH) is an incorporated organization that has signed a sponsorship agreement with the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship.

• The sponsorship agreement allows SAHs to sponsor a certain number of refugees each year for resettlement to Canada through the Private Sponsorship of Refugees (PSR) program.

• A SAH may be a local, regional or national organization. SAHs differ in their activities, size, composition and geographical mandate.

• SAHs may partner with groups or individuals to sponsor refugees under their agreements. These groups are referred to as Constituent Groups (CGs); any individuals that partner with SAHs are known as co-sponsors.

• Currently, there are more than 120 SAHs throughout Canada (excluding Quebec).

• The list of SAHs is available on IRCC’s website here.
