Canada in the Caribbean

On World Refugee Day and every day, Canada shows solidarity with refugees and other displaced people worldwide. We continue to be a leading example in refugee resettlement by offering more ways for them to find safety here. This includes committing to
• establishing new multi-year resettlement commitments for 2024–2026
• funding various capacity-building projects in the Americas and working with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency
• making Canada’s refugee labour mobility pathway a permanent economic immigration program by 2025
