While conducting the approach RWY XX into ZZZ; at a position just prior to ZZZZZ; we experienced a FLAPS FAIL Caution Message. At the time of the failure; our airspeed was 200 KIAS; the altitude was 2;500 feet.; the OAT was -20C; and the flaps failed in the 0-degree position. The FO (First Officer) (PF) (Pilot Flying) took the radios and notified ATC; while I (PM) (Pilot Monitoring) completed the QRH. ATC issued us a series of vectors; while we completed the QRH and coordinated a diversion to ZZZ1. Once the abnormal procedure was complete; I assumed control of the airplane; and was the one who accomplished the subsequent landing. We requested the ILS RWY XY at ZZZ1 and landed without incident. ARFF (Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting) crews were present along the runway; though an emergency was not declared. The root cause of this failure is; at present; unknown to myself.
Just before commencing the approach at ZZZ to RWY XX; and approaching the ZZZZZ waypoint; I asked the CA (Captain) who was pilot monitoring for flaps 8. Flaps Fail caution message immediately illuminated. We broke off the approach and received a heading away from ZZZ at 2;500 feet. I took the radios while the CA ran the QRH and coordinated with Dispatch. I continued to fly; and transferred controls to the CA for the landing. We decided to divert to ZZZ1 taking in consideration turbulent conditions; strong gusty winds; and the longer runway. We received a series of headings and climbed to 5;000 while working the problem. Landing with flaps zero at ZZZ1 RWY XX was without incident. They had emergency vehicles waiting for us; but we did not declare an emergency. Cause of flaps fail is unknown at this time.
CRJ-200 flight crew reported Flaps Fail Caution Message on approach and diverting to an airport with a longer runway.
