Catholic Crosscultural Services (CCS) is a GTA-based, national non-profit organization, providing programs and services to empower newcomers, immigrants and refugees to settle, integrate and prosper in Canada. From its humble beginnings in a downtown Toronto church in 1954, CCS has grown into one of the largest settlement organizations in Canada. More than 200 employees and 100's of volunteers deliver culturally-sensitive and linguistically appropriate programs and services in more than thirty languages. We serve all newcomers -- regardless of race, religion, age, country of origin, sexual orientation, immigration status, or political affiliation -- from eight locations across Scarborough, Mississauga and Brampton, and in collaboration with over 40 community partners. Our mission is to identify core settlement needs and help our clients develop the skills and knowledge needed to become full and equal partners in Canadian society. CCS' Refugee Sponsorship Training Program (RSTP) brand works with private sponsors in seven cities across Canada, assisting them with comprehensive guidance and support in sponsoring refugees through the Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program.
