The government of Canada has announced new temporary
immigration measures to support eligible family members of Canadian
citizens and permanent residents who have left Haiti, as well as
Haitian nationals in Canada who are unable to return home.
Effective immediately, Haitian nationals and family members of
Canadian citizens and permanent residents who left Haiti on or
after March 1, 2024, arrived in Canada on or before April 26, 2024,
and are currently temporary residents in Canada, can apply for a
study permit, open work permit, or status extension at no cost.
This includes foreign national family members, regardless of
nationality, who arrived in Canada as temporary residents through
assisted departures out of Haiti. Additional information and
eligibility criteria can be found here.
