@TheHillTimes @iremreports Canada opened its doors to us after the 2023 Türkiye earthquakes. I work full-time as a café chef, my wife is a computer engineer. We pay taxes and contribute to the economy. Our Grade 4 daughter loves her school, friends, and teachers. We are grateful but please don’t ignore us.

Would you, your wife and children leave your home, job, school, friends and community in a similar situation? I agree, if they were not invited at all, you wouldn't see this request on the newspaper. However, it is there and it has to be resolved because these are human beings, they have to be treated with compassion. #TS2023

"Alper Kirtil, a Toronto-based immigration consultant and paralegal who works closely with TS2023 visa holders, told The Hill Times in a Turkish-language interview that in the absence of extensions or measures that would allow a transition into permanent residency, thousands of people would be forced to return to a home country still recovering from the impacts of the earthquake.

“Not because they failed to integrate, but because no pathway was designed beyond the emergency phase. This outcome would undermine the very purpose of TS2023,” he said.

“They are no longer newcomers in transition. They are now embedded in Canadian communities, workplaces, and schools. They are paying taxes, filling labour shortages, and rebuilding stability after trauma.”

@TheHillTimes @iremreports We are a fully integrated small group of people, and we have contributed to Canada since we came here. We need support!

When a temporary program causes harm, who takes responsibility? TS2023 has left a small group without answers. We need transparency and action. @MarkJCarney @LenaMetlegeDiab @nkeung @CBCNews @iremreports #ts2023 #humanrights

[Erdi @ErdiFBCN]

We trusted Canada at a time of crisis. We hope that trust will be met with understanding, fairness, and transparency.

Justice for #ts2023 survivors means more than just temporary shelter; it means the right to stay and belong. Canada, grant the permits now.

Will there be a defined and humane pathway forward for those affected by TS2023?

We need an extension .

Canada benefits when contributors can plan long term. TS2023 workers are contributing now.

A clear PR pathway would allow that contribution to continue without disruption.

A small, clearly defined group like TS2023 is ideal for a targeted PR allocation: limited impact, meaningful results.

TS2023 is about people, families, and dignity.
Clarity, fairness, and a human-rights-based approach matter.
We are asking to be heard — respectfully.
