Calls Emerge For U.S. Refugee Status Group Helps Jewish Families Flee Canada

Tulsa Tomorrow says it has heard from 800 to 900 Jewish Canadian families considering moves as antisemitism concerns and asylum proposals grow.

  • Canadian Jewish families are seeking to relocate with help from Tulsa Tomorrow, while advocates push Washington to create formal immigration or asylum pathways for those fearing antisemitism.
  • Roberts, a Canadian-American transplant who moved his family to Tulsa two years ago, said the situation in Canada worsened following the fall 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, which sparked rising antisemitic incidents.
  • Tulsa Tomorrow has received inquiries from roughly 2,000 people across 800 to 900 families considering leaving Canada. The American Enterprise Institute argued last month that Washington should provide asylum to those with credible fear of persecution.
  • During a July 28 visit to Ottawa, President Donald Trump's special envoy for combating antisemitism, Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, stated Washington is not currently considering a resettlement program for Canadian Jews.
  • The Trump administration previously created a resettlement program for Afrikaner people from South Africa, yet The American Jewish Committee reported 2025 was "one of the most violent years against American Jews in recent history," complicating prospects for a safe haven.
