Canada is at a turning point. Our country’s immigration policies are becoming less fair, and public sentiment towards immigration is taking a concerning negative turn.
But CPJ members have been raising their voice and telling the government that refugees and migrants are valued members of our communities—as friends, neighbours, and colleagues.
As people who are proud of the reputation that Canada has garnered for welcoming immigrants, you can amplify your voice through CPJ as we tell our elected officials that CPJ members believe we are better with refugees and migrants in our communities.
Building the Canadian Welcome

We all learn from diversity in our communities. Learning about someone who has had experiences different than our own widens our understanding of the world and makes us wiser decision makers about our future.

As a follower of Jesus, I strive to follow in his way of living and being. His heart was open and wide for all peoples… I believe that God created this world and everything and everyone in it. In the Bible, we are told to welcome the foreigners, to show hospitality to strangers and to care for people who are poor or needy…Communities that work together to welcome immigrants and to provide them with what they need are stronger, kinder and more resilient. This is the kind of Canada I have experienced in various forms and it’s what makes us one of the most sought after places to live in this world.
