PRO BONO ONTARIO

Published purpose

This project will support Ukrainian nationals that are directly affected by the armed conflict and seeking refuge in Canada. Pro Bono Ontario will set up a free hotline that is accessible nationally to provide legal information, summary legal advice and referrals to pro bono lawyers for individuals requiring assistance with sponsorship, refugee claims and work permit questions. Furthermore, Pro Bono Ontario will develop knowledge resources for project staff and volunteers, create a multi-lingual information webpage, coordinate with the existing provincial pro bono organizations across Canada to facilitate referrals, and conduct community outreach with groups engaged in refugee sponsorship and settlement work.
