On February 20, 2025, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced that Canada will resettle more refugees affected by the conflict in Sudan over the next two years. Additionally, the government is increasing the number of spaces under the family-based permanent residence pathway, ensuring that more families can reunite and start anew in Canada.

Canada has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting those affected by the ongoing conflict in Sudan through expanded immigration measures. Recognizing its humanitarian responsibilities, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has announced new efforts to provide safety and stability for Sudanese refugees and their families.

These measures will be implemented within the framework of Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan and could provide a lifeline to over 7,000 individuals impacted by the conflict.
