The Multicultural Council’s Efforts in Support of Haiti

In response to the current crisis in Haiti the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada are developing a coordinated and effective response to the emergency situation.

The urgent need to repatriate Canadian citizens living in Haiti falls under the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration portfolio. Windsor is one of the communities preparing to receive a number of repatriated Canadians as they arrive back in Canada. The Multicultural Council of Windsor and Essex County in partnership with the YMCA and the Women's Enterprise Skills Training of Windsor (WEST) are on the frontlines to support them during their transition.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada reacted with a Special Immigration Measures making priority processing available, under certain categories, for those who identify themselves as being directly and significantly affected by the earthquake in Haiti.
