The Government of Canada is working hard to resettle at least 40,000 Afghan refugees in Canada as quickly and safely as possible. We developed several special programs and measures that reflect the long and enduring relationship we have with Afghans, and to protect some of the most vulnerable groups in Afghanistan.
Key highlights of resettlement plans:
- 5,000 Afghans through the permanent residence pathway for extended family members of former interpreters
- 18,000 Afghans through the special immigration program for Afghan nationals who closely assisted our efforts in Afghanistan
- a mix of government-assisted and privately sponsored Afghan refugees through the humanitarian program
- explore other options and pathways to bring Afghans to Canada, such as the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot.
