Canada will receive 11 thousand migrants from Colombia, Venezuela and Haiti
The Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship of Canada, Marc Miller, announced this Wednesday that he will receive 11 thousand migrants from Colombia, Venezuela and Haiti, who have resident family members or Canadian citizens who will host them
At the beginning of 2023, the Canadian government spoke of expanding the reception of migrants from the Western Hemisphere. In this sense, the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship of the country, Marc Miller, indicated this Wednesday that they are ready to receive 11 thousand migrants from Venezuela, Haiti and Colombia.
People who wish to enter Canada must have resident or Canadian family members in the territory, according to Miller, who pointed out that the objective is to provide greater security to these refugees.
The minister detailed on his account on the social network X: “Earlier this year, we announced that we would welcome, on a humanitarian basis, 15,000 migrants from the Western Hemisphere. We offer a path to economic opportunities to help address forced displacement as an alternative”.
IN this sense, it is confirmed that for the fall of this year, foreigners from Colombia, Venezuela and Haiti who meet the requirements of having family members on Canadian soil or who are already citizens of the country, may be eligible for entry.
“In addition to fulfilling our commitment to host 15,000 migrants, we continue to play an active role in migration and protection issues. We are on track to fulfill our commitment to increase resettlement,” details the official statement.
Canada is open to being part of the solution to the migration crisis faced by countries in the region.
