At the 2022 IMRF, Canada pledged to support: 
1) The International Labour Organization’s project to increase fair recruitment practices and economic integration into the local labour markets of refugees and migrants in Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Honduras as well as supporting regional coordination on the socio economic integration of migrants and refugees. 

2) The International Organization for Migration’s project to enhance Costa Rica’s capacity to integrate migrants and asylum seekers into local communities, including through supporting regular pathways to access employment opportunities, such as temporary labour options.

3) The International Labour Organization’s project supporting Colombia’s and Panama’s vocational training institutions in strengthening their capacities, particularly their skills certification and prior learning recognition process, and Colombia’s and Panama’s Public Employment Services in adapting their services to refugees and migrants.
