About the Extend TS2023 Initiative

We are a community-led advocacy group dedicated to supporting Turkish citizens in Canada affected by the 2023 earthquakes.

Our Mission

Following the devastating earthquakes in Türkiye in 2023, the Canadian government announced special measures (known as TS2023) to allow Turkish citizens in Canada to extend their stay. This provided a critical lifeline for many students, workers, and visitors.

Our mission is to advocate for the extension and enhancement of these measures. We believe that providing a stable and clear path forward is essential for those who have built lives, contributed to our economy, and become part of our communities while facing uncertainty back home.

What We Do

  • Advocacy: We engage with policymakers and government officials to highlight the ongoing need for support.
  • Community: We provide a platform (like our Community Forum) for members to connect, share stories, and find resources.
  • Information: We compile and share information, such as our Provincial Guides, to help newcomers navigate life in Canada.
