National webinar: '‘Lunch & Learn Conversation: Making the Most of Your Available Spaces & Pre-Screening the Principal Applicant’ (Training for SAHs)
2026-02-26 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual
Join us for an engaging conversation on how one community‑based SAH effectively conducted pre‑screening of Principal Applicants (PAs) before selecting sponsorship cases.
Learn practical strategies they used to ensure that available spaces were used wisely and that selected cases were well‑aligned with their capacity and sponsorship goals.
Navigating the sponsorship process requires not just compassion, but also strategic planning to ensure your group’s success. We understand that one of the biggest challenges for SAHs is selecting the right cases to ensure that your available spaces are used effectively and sustainably.
To support you in this critical area, we are pleased to invite you to our lunch and learn conversation with Dawit Demoz of the Eritrean Canadian Community Centre of Metropolitan Toronto.
