‘We ask the government not to send us back to the ruins’: Turkish earthquake survivors call on feds to ease path to permanent residency
IRCC says the measures that allowed 2023 earthquake survivors to stay in Canada were intended to be temporary, but many of those from hometowns that were decimated are looking for a 'fair' and 'reasonable' pathway to continue the lives they've built in this country.

Learn Why and SignWhat is TS2023 and Why Does It Need an Extension?
The TS2023 program was a temporary special measure from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) providing a safe harbour for Turkish nationals affected by the February 2023 earthquakes. It offered a pathway to an open work permit, enabling them to find stability and support themselves in Canada.
While the program provided a critical pathway to safety, the three-year timeframe presents challenges for a full recovery. The process of integration is complex and requires sufficient time. An extension is more than a policy adjustment; it is a practical step that acknowledges the unique circumstances of their arrival.
The Path to Integration
The core purpose of TS2023—to provide a safe harbor for recovery—requires adequate time to be fully effective. Participants have made significant strides by finding employment, enrolling in language classes, and contributing to their communities. However, recovering from the disaster's impact is a gradual process. A premature return to a region still undergoing large-scale reconstruction could disrupt the progress they have made.
The Scale of the Devastation
50,000+
Lives Lost
1.5 Million
People Displaced
$100+ Billion
Estimated Economic Damage
The earthquakes had a widespread economic impact on Türkiye, and the affected region is facing a long-term reconstruction effort. An early return for these individuals would mean navigating an environment with ongoing challenges, which would be counterproductive to the stability they have started to build in Canada.
