Event Description

This important forum will bring together community leaders, legal experts, policymakers, academics, and frontline service providers to examine the systemic challenges Somali nationals face in navigating identity verification and immigration systems. Discussions will focus on the intersection of human rights, displacement, documentation barriers, and access to protection.

Address the gap between Canadian immigration and documentation requirements and the realities that individuals from conflict-affected contexts face.
Examine the humanitarian impacts of prolonged legal limbo, including family separation, barriers to services, and socio-economic exclusion.
Explore practical and policy-oriented solutions, including the development of a Standardized Identity Toolkit to support more consistent and equitable identity verification frameworks.
