Advocates call on the Government of Canada to remove the quota on the Afghan refugee sponsorship program

A group of advocates is urging the Federal Government to either remove the limit on applications to sponsor Afghan refugees in Canada or, at least, stop counting rejected applications towards the limit.

Last month, the government announced a new program that would enable Canadian individuals and organizations to sponsor up to 3,000 Afghan refugees who do not have refugee status from the United Nations refugee agency or another country.

The program will accept sponsorship applications until October 17, 2023, or once it receives 3,000 refugee applications – whichever comes first.
