Refugee Tamil Initiative

The Refugee Tamil Initiative (RTI) is a specialized program of the Center for Peace Canada, an Ontario non-profit dedicated to supporting refugees and advancing human rights. Based in Scarborough, RTI serves as a compassionate, professional safe harbor for newly arrived Tamil asylum seekers and families. Leveraging the Center's established local partnerships and legal clinic networks, the initiative provides essential settlement resources, legal information, and community integration support. Together, we work to ensure that displaced Tamils can rebuild their lives in Canada with absolute safety, dignity, and self-reliance.
