Refugees platforms

Here's what the 2019 Canadian election parties are promising.

Conservative

  • Ensure departmental resources are sufficiently focused on privately sponsored refugees.
  • Prioritize genocide survivors, LGBTQ+ refugees, and internally displaced people in the Government-Assisted Refugees program.

NDP

  • Get rid of refugee backlog.
  • Work with Canadians to resettle refugees and ensure they're given needed support to build successful lives and new homes.
  • Establish a clear and permanent path for resettlement of LGBTQI2S+ refugees to Canada.
We don't have any Bloc policies on Refugees.

Green

Lead a national discussion to define the term “environmental refugee,” advocate for its inclusion as a refugee category in Canada, and accept an appropriate share of the world’s environmental refugees into Canada.
We don't have any PPC policies on Refugees.
