Canada Demonstrates Global Leadership on World Refugee Day 2025 with Enhanced Resettlement Programs
June 24, 2025
On World Refugee Day 2025, Canada reaffirmed its unshakeable commitment to humanitarian values and international solidarity by unveiling a bold and inclusive resettlement plan. The Honourable Lena Metlege Diab, Minister of Immigration, unveiled with pride a multi-year strategy to admit 20,000 refugees by 2026, reaffirming Canada’s active leadership in the solution of one of humanity’s most critical challenges.
A Global Commitment to Protect the Displaced
With more than 123 million people displaced by force globally, the requirement for substantial international action has never been greater. Heeding this, and in keeping with the World Refugee Day 2025 spirit, Canada is making bold strides to provide sanctuary and protection to those being forced from their homes due to violence, persecution, and instability. Through the newly unveiled initiative, 12,000 refugees will be resettled from Africa, the Middle East, and Asia — all regions that are still grappling with complex humanitarian crises.
This effort is not just a matter of numbers. It demonstrates Canada’s continuing commitment to advancing human dignity, enhancing safety, and building inclusive communities for the most vulnerable.
Supporting the Global Response Through UNHCR
Canada’s leadership extends beyond resettlement. On World Refugee Day 2025, the Government committed $50.4 million over four years to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in ongoing efforts to deliver emergency aid, shelter, and long-term solutions for displaced persons around the world. This investment reflects Canada’s position as a dependable ally in global humanitarian action. It also supports the international refugee protection system when multilateral action is most necessary.
A Focus on the Most Vulnerable
What distinguishes Canada’s approach is its people-first emphasis. On World Refugee Day 2025, the government repeated its pledge to safeguard the world’s most vulnerable by giving particular attention to women, LGBTQI+ persons, and those escaping regional conflicts, like the current one in Sudan. These groups tend to encounter compounded threats and obstacles along the displacement path, and Canada’s focused support reflects an inclusive and intersectional perspective that puts safety, dignity, and opportunity first.
Canada’s refugee programs are structured not just to provide protection but also to support people to flourish and make meaningful contributions to their new communities. This is part of the larger vision of a stronger, more diverse Canada.
Reinforcing Canada’s Global Image
Canada’s actions on World Refugee Day 2025 are not only compassionate—they are strategic. By taking the lead on resettlement and spending money on international partnerships, Canada is reinforcing its position as a global leader in immigration and refugee protection.
Minister Lena Metlege Diab’s announcement on World Refugee Day 2025 was met with encouragement from humanitarian groups, advocates, and international partners who view Canada as a model for responsive and rights-based refugee policy.
For immigration experts and stakeholders in Canada, this change means ongoing opportunities to assist refugee newcomers through services such as settlement support, language training, housing assistance, and legal assistance.

What is the UNHCR strategy 2025?
The UNHCR Strategy 2025, or the “Strategic Directions 2022–2026,” emphasizes five interlinked key areas to direct its worldwide refugee protection and humanitarian activities. These are safeguarding and empowering refugees, ceasing statelessness, responding effectively in crises, strengthening solutions for the displaced, and enhancing the organization’s effectiveness and partnerships.
By 2025, UNHCR will see to it that greater numbers of refugees benefit from durable solutions like resettlement, local integration, and voluntary return, and increase partnership with governments, the private sector, and civil society.
In World Refugee Day 2025, such a strategy becomes even more important, as it emphasizes international cooperation in protecting the rights, dignity, and future of over 100 million uprooted people across the globe.
