Canada's immigration program is meant to allow people to reunite with immediate family members within a reasonable length of time. However, for refugee families, there are usually long and cruel delays, many obstacles, few resources to support applicants, and dire implications for family members involved. The government claims that family reunification is a priority, but its choices mean that families remain separated for years. Children are often affected.

The Refugee Family Reunification Project, which launched in January 2024, is designed to address the gaps related to family reunification for refugees, particularly in the areas of practical support and advocacy.
