- Admin History/Bio
- The Jewish Immigrant Aid Society of Canada (JIAS) was established in 1922 to assist Jewish refugees coming to Canada. As the exclusive Jewish social service agency dedicated to settlement services, it has aided immigrants and refugees from various regions, including postwar Europe, North Africa, the former Soviet Union, South Africa, Syria, the former Yugoslavia, Argentina, and Israel. In a milestone move in 2015, JIAS Toronto became a Sponsorship Agreement Holder (SAH), empowering the organization to sponsor refugees and facilitate their arrival in Canada. Throughout its history, JIAS has been instrumental in providing essential support and fostering the successful settlement of Jewish immigrants in the country.
