🍁🇨🇦 Update on Special Measures for Palestine-Israel Conflict in Canada 🍁🇨🇦
I wanted to share a crucial update on relief measures for those affected by the Palestine-Israel conflict in Canada. The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has introduced key measures to support impacted individuals.
Here are the key highlights:
🚨 Dedicated Service Channel for inquiries on these measures, IRCC has set up a dedicated service channel at 613-321-4243, with collect calls accepted.
📅 Exemptions for temporary resident visa applicants under the public policy expire on January 9, 2025, or upon reaching 1,000 accepted applications, whichever comes first.
🌐 Multiple entry temporary resident visas will be valid for up to 3 years or the length of the person’s passport validity, whichever comes first.
📜 Since December 21, 2023, fee-exempt study permits and open work permits are available for immediate family members of Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
🌍 Priority Processing for Permanent Residence Applications: IRCC is prioritizing the processing of both existing and new permanent residence applications for Palestinians within family-based streams.
🔄 IRCC will carefully monitor program volumes and the evolving situation to ensure Canada continues to meet the needs of the affected population.
