The resettlement of refugees is an important contemporary issue and several coun-tries responded to the global resettlement needs by implementing national pro-grams. This article aims to analyze current developments about refugee protection by focusing on Canada’s experience in resettling and integrating refugees through the support of private sponsors. It elaborates on the outcomes and challenges of Canada’s private sponsorship program implemented since the late 1970s and ex-plores its transferability in Europe. The authors affirm that, despite the program’s vulnerabilities, it can be a model for European countries dealing with the resettle-ment of refugees.

Keywords: sponsorship; refugee; resettlement; asylum; Canada; transferability.
