ICC CEO Geoff Allardice: "We are looking at a similar structure to the Men's Under-19 World Cup in terms of the number of teams and the opportunity for associate members to participate,"
Are Associates invited to the inaugural tournament? The activity of the new USA Cricket U19 womens team suggests "yes".
That would mean a holding an Americas qualifier sometime this summer or fall. The ICC appear to have given the USA a headstart for this and the American youth are taking part in their first tour:

Whether Associates are part of 2023 or not, the USA will be clear favourite to be the Americas representative when qualifiers are held.
Canada? Typically, no information on Cricket Canada website for U19 women. Are they doing anything for our U19 women. Do we have an U19 womens team? Probably not. We can barely organize a practice for our full Womens team.
