Childhood Arrivals Support and Advocacy (CASA)

JFCY continues to provide its full slate of legal services to children and young people under 18 (and homeless youth under 25) across the province of Ontario, including young people with no or precarious immigration status. These services include independent legal advice on all areas of law including: immigration, getting into school, accommodation in school, housing, and other supports.

The Childhood Arrivals Support and Advocacy program (CASA), was based at JFCY from 2020 – 2025. With the clinic’s support, it has spread its wings and evolved into an independent nonprofit organization called the Childhood Arrivals Support and Advocacy Centre of Canada (still known as CASA)! 

JFCY and CASA continue to work in close partnership to ensure young people access services, and to change attitudes, policies and laws that create barriers for young people with precarious or no immigration status.
