Prime Minister Trudeau and all federal Ministers are meeting in Hamilton from January 23rd to 25th to plan out their priorities for the year. If you act now, we can win historic immigration changes. If all the Ministers at the meeting support regularization, then Cabinet can schedule a meeting soon after to create an uncapped program through which all undocumented people and their families can apply for permanent residence as early as February. If the Ministers aren’t in full support next week then they will schedule more meetings for discussion. Delays mean exploitation, deportation and even death. Two migrants died this Christmas – an undocumented migrant in immigration prison in BC, and Fritznel Richard, a Haitian refugee crossing into the US after being unable to get a work permit in Montreal. Let’s win #StatusForAll and an end to detentions and deportations.
Week of Action – Now to January 25, 2023:
(1) Send emails: Over 23,000 people have already sent messages to all Cabinet Ministers. Please keep signing and sharing: www.StatusForAll.ca. We have heard from many Ministers that they are paying attention.

(3) Leave a phone message: Use the phone numbers to call and leave this message: “Dear Minister, please support regularization for all undocumented people and permanent resident status for all migrants at the winter cabinet retreat. We need an uncapped program that leaves no one behind. A fair society means equal rights, and that’s only possible with permanent resident status for all, no deportations, no exclusions.”
