In response to the volatile security situation in Haiti, the Government of Canada has announced temporary measures to support affected individuals. Starting May 23, 2024, Haitians with valid temporary resident status in Canada can apply for study permits, open work permits, or status extensions at no cost. These measures also apply to foreign national family members who arrived as temporary residents through assisted departures from Haiti. Additionally, eligible individuals will receive three months of coverage under the Interim Federal Health Program. These actions aim to keep families together and provide Haitian nationals in Canada with a safe place to study, work, and reside. More information about eligibility and how to apply is available on IRCC’s website.
