In some developing countries, getting an education can be dangerous. Whether due to war or political repression, students are often persecuted, imprisoned or forced into exile, joining the ranks of the world's estimated 10 million refugees. They have virtually no opportunity for post-secondary education.
Since 1978, WUSC's Student Refugee Program (SRP) has enabled more than 1000 of these capable young men and women to resettle in Canada as permanent residents, pursue their education in an environment free of violence and fear...and transform their lives.
From countries of origin as diverse as Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, Rwanda, Sudan, Burma and Afghanistan, most have successfully completed their studies and are now active Canadian citizens making valuable contributions to their communities.
And Canadian university and college students make a critical contribution to the success of the SRP.
Each year, WUSC Local Committees on campuses across the country sponsor approximately 50 new student refugees through the program. Their sponsorship includes providing vital social and financial support to the sponsored student during their first 12 months in Canada.

Dans certains pays en voie de développement, il peut s'avérer dangereux de s'instruire. Que ce soit à cause d'une guerre ou de répressions politiques, les étudiants sont souvent persécutés, emprisonnés ou forcés de s'exiler, joignant ainsi les rangs de réfugiés estimés à 10 millions dans le monde. Ils n'ont pratiquement aucune possibilité de poursuivre une éducation post-secondaire.
Depuis 1978, le Programme d'étudiants réfugiés (PÉR) de l'EUMC a permis à plus de 1000 de ces jeunes hommes et femmes compétents de se relocaliser au Canada en tant que résidents permanents, de poursuivre leur éducation dans un environnement exempt de violence et de peur et ... de transformer leurs vies.
Issus de pays aussi variés que l'Éthiopie, la République démocratique du Congo, la Somalie, le Rouanda, le Soudan, la Birmanie et l'Afghanistan, la plupart d'entre eux ont terminé leurs études avec succès et sont maintenant des citoyens canadiens actifs, apportant de précieuses contributions à leurs communautés.
Les étudiants universitaires et collégiaux canadiens contribuent grandement au succès du PÉR
Chaque année, les comités locaux de l'EUMC sur les campus à travers le pays parrainent environ 50 nouveaux étudiants réfugiés par le biais du programme. Leur parrainage consiste à leur apporter un important soutien social et financier pendant leurs 12 premiers mois au Canada.
