    May 12, 2021 The Right Hon. Justin Trudeau, P.C., M.P. Prime Minister of Canada [email protected] The Hon. Marco Mendicino, P.C., M.P. Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship [email protected] The Hon. Patty Hajdu, P.C., M.P. Minister of Health [email protected] The Hon. Bill Blair, P.C., M.P. Minister of Public Safety [email protected] Dear Prime Minister Trudeau and Ministers Mendicino, Hajdu, and Blair, I’m writing to express Mennonite Central Committee Canada’s concern about the continued lack of travel possibilities for refugees to resettle to Canada. Currently, only those refugees with a permanent residence visa issued before pandemic travel restrictions were introduced in March 2020 are being admitted. There are more than 25 million refugees globally. Resettlement has been a small but important tool to provide a durable solution for some of these refugees and we encourage Canada to continue to play a leadership role in resettlement. As the first organization to sign a Sponsorship Agreement in March 1979, MCC is proud to be a part of that work. Since 1979 we have helped resettle more than 12,500 refugees in many communities across Canada. Last March, when arrivals of refugees were cut to almost none, it was devastating for the many sponsors we work with. In 2020, MCC welcomed 118 refugees through Privately Sponsored Refugee (PSR) and Blended Visa Office Referred (BVOR) programs. That is only 20% of the number we resettled the previous year. We encourage the Canadian government to resume issuing visas for refugees approved for resettlement in Canada.
