Last Friday, the Canadian government announced the launch of a program to receive 11,000 immigrants from Colombia, Haiti and Venezuela, as part of its ongoing efforts to support the people of the Americas.
According to the official press release, applicants must have family ties to Canadian citizens or permanent residents, who agree to support them for one year.
Canada Opens its Doors to Colombians with Humanitarian Program
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) reiterated the importance of applicants receiving support during their integration process, including an assessment of their job skills and referral to settlement organizations in their communities.
Those selected will also be eligible for transitional financial assistance.
It is essential to note that applicants should plan to live outside of Quebec, as this province has opted out of the program, as announced by IRCC.
Canadian Immigration Minister Marc Miller said they are committed to upholding Canada’s humanitarian tradition and supporting those who need it most.

This new humanitarian pathway is presented as an alternative to irregular migration through Central America for those affected by political, social and economic instability, according to Immigration Canada’s statement.
It should be recalled that last year more than 39,000 asylum seekers entered Canada through unofficial channels, mostly in Quebec via the Roxham Trail.
Eligibility and Benefits: Canadian Program for Family Members of Citizens and Permanent Residents
As for program requirements, applicants must be Colombian, Haitian or Venezuelan nationals, reside in Mexico, Central America, South America or the Caribbean, and be immediate family members of Canadian citizens or permanent residents willing to support their applications.
In addition, they must plan to live outside Quebec and have a valid passport or admissible identity document.
The program allows immediate family members, such as children under the age of 22, spouses or domestic partners, to be included in the application.
Those acting as “anchors” for their family members must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents over 18 years of age, with no expulsion orders or specific criminal record, and residing outside the province of Quebec.
To apply, interested parties can access the IRCC website by submitting an affidavit from the “anchor” person in Canada.
The forms are available in English and French, and it is hoped that this program will strengthen the contribution of newcomers to Canadian communities and stimulate the country’s economic growth.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the recent announcement by the Canadian government opens a window of hope for thousands of people in Colombia, Haiti and Venezuela seeking opportunities in a new horizon.
This program not only reflects Canada’s continued commitment to the humanitarian tradition, but also highlights the importance of strengthening the diversity and contributions of newcomers to Canadian society.
As applicants prepare for this exciting journey, integration and community support will play a key role in their success in maple country.
This program not only offers a safe alternative to regular migration, but also underscores Canada’s ability to enrich itself through inclusion and diversity.
