The Government of Canada has announced the resettlement of up to 20,000 vulnerable Afghan nationals to Canada. This will be done through

  • a special immigration program for Afghan nationals, and their families, who assisted the Government of Canada
  • a special humanitarian program focused on resettling Afghan nationals who are outside of Afghanistan and who don’t have a durable solution in a third country, which will include people such as
    • women leaders
    • human rights advocates
    • LGBTI individuals
    • journalists and people who assisted Canadian journalists
    • immediate family members of one of the above
    • extended family members of previously resettled interpreters who assisted the Government of Canada

You don’t need to currently be in Afghanistan or return to Afghanistan to be eligible or to have your application processed.
