Following the natural disaster in Haiti, the federal government has temporarily accelerated the immigration applications of Haitians with family in Canada and has allowed those on temporary visa to remain here for the time being.

Ottawa has also brought 84 Haitian children to Canada for adoption, with more Haitian adoptions expected.
