Supporting Refugees
Welcome to the United Canadian Tamils Association
Our mission is to support refugees who have been displaced by violence, conflict, and persecution through refugee resettlement assistance, and raising awareness of the ongoing civil and humanitarian crisis Tamils face around the world.

Sri Lankan Tamil Refugee Statistics
Since 1983, the civil war in Sri Lanka has displaced over a million Tamils from their homes. The displaced Tamils flew to western countries and neighbouring South East Asian countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and India seeking refuge. While many of the displaced Tamils have successfully integrated into their communities, there are over 157,578 Tamil refugees in 64 countries, primarily in neighbouring South East Asian countries.
