I pray for all the people that appeared in that terrifying situation in Afghanistan. I really hope many of them will find their safe heaven in Canada.

Based on what I have read, there is no way for them to apply to be included in the 20,000 at this time.

My understanding is that there was temporarily an online form or something similar that was open for people who qualified to be included in the 20,000 which was largely limited to translators who had worked with Canadian armed forces (or support them directly in other capacities) and embassy staff, we well as their families. My understanding is that Canada received a huge number of submissions and has now shut down the online submissions. They are now working through the submissions they received and trying to see who they can get out of the country.

I will try to find the articles I read about this. Will respond back here once I do.

Maybe this will change at some point and they'll reopen the process and expand the criteria to apply. However for now, I think they need to find other ways to get out of Afghanistan and potentially move to Canada.

I am terribly sorry for your family. This must be very stressful.

I haven't found the article yet.

But take a look at this. This is new and I didn't see it on the IRCC site a few days ago. This looks like the application process.

Applicants need to meet these requirements to qualify:

you’re an Afghan national and your employment involved a significant and/or enduring relationship with the Government of Canada, which could be, but is not limited to
  • interpreters who worked with the Canadian Armed Forces
  • local staff who currently or used to work at the Embassy of Canada to Afghanistan

This is not a Canadian government website. All we can do is provide information.

The Canadian government has promised to accept 20,000 individuals who meet this criteria:

you’re an Afghan national and your employment involved a significant and/or enduring relationship with the Government of Canada, which could be, but is not limited to
  • interpreters who worked with the Canadian Armed Forces
  • local staff who currently or used to work at the Embassy of Canada to Afghanistan
I don't believe journalists fall under this program but you can certainly try submitting a request and see what happens. More details about this program and how to submit a request are provided here:
