Canada can qualify for Qatar as soon as that night.

Canada visits Costa Rica on Mar. 24, returns to Toronto to play Jamaica at BMO Field on Mar. 27 and finishes up qualifying on Mar. 30 in Panama.

The top three teams from CONCACAF qualify directly for Qatar with the fourth-place team set to take on a team from the Oceania Football Confederation in a sudden-death playoff for one of the remaining berths.
