https://immigrationnewscanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Canadian-PM-Justin-Trudeau-on-Sudan-conflict-April-25.jpg Last Updated On 26 April 2023, 9:49 AM EDT (Toronto Time) Canada is responding to ongoing situation in Sudan with a plan to help Sudanese temporary residents inside Canada and helping Canadians stranded in Sudan.
On April 24, 2023 immigration minister of Canada announced special measures for Sudanese temporary resident in Canada who may not be able to return home owing to the rapidly deteriorating circumstances in their country.
The Canadian immigration department will set new immigration measures allowing Sudanese to apply for an extension of their stay in Canada.
Furthermore, IRCC will allow the citizens of Sudan to switch between temporary streams, continuing their studies, work, or family visits free of cost. More details will be made public in upcoming days.
For Canadian citizens and permanent residents in Sudan who want to leave, Canada will also eliminate the expenses for passports and travel documents for permanent residents.
The Government of Canada will prioritize the processing of complete temporary and permanent residence applications from those who are still in Sudan.
This will make it easier for individuals remaining in Sudan to apply for asylum and travel once it is safe to do so.
All other eligibility and admissibility conditions will still apply to those qualified for expedited processing.
The IRCC is prepared to send more officers to the region to assist those already on the ground with immigration-related activities.
