More than 8,000 undocumented foreign health-care workers and their families were allowed to remain in Canada under a temporary amnesty program launched by the federal government in 2020, says a briefing note by the immigration department.
“Over 8,500 individuals have received permanent residence through this pathway which includes family members,” said the Nov. 9 note, obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter, referring to the “Guardian Angel” program.
