As of March 1, 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has updated guidelines for application processing under the new permanent residence pathway for Colombian, Haitian, and Venezuelan nationals. This public policy aims to provide a regular immigration pathway as an alternative to irregular migration. It will assist specific Colombian, Haitian, and Venezuelan nationals with family members in Canada who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents in obtaining permanent residence. Under this temporary pathway, IRCC will welcome up to 11,000 foreign nationals from the Americas.
