New Immigration Measures to Help Sudanese Maintain Status in Canada

Canada introduces new measures for Sudanese temporary residents unable to return home due to worsening conditions in Sudan.

To assist Sudanese temporary residents who might be unable to return home due to the worsening conditions in their country, the Canadian government has introduced new immigration measures and expressed concern about the safety of people in Sudan.

These measures will allow Sudanese residents in Canada to apply for an extension of their study, work, or visit visa.

Additionally, the government will give priority to processing completed temporary and permanent residence applications that are already in the system for those who are still in Sudan.

Furthermore, Canada will exempt passport and permanent resident travel document fees for citizens and permanent residents of Canada in Sudan who want to depart.

Applications for visitor visas are open to immediate family members of Canadian citizens and permanent residents who meet the eligibility criteria.

The Canadian government continues to work with like-minded countries and the international community to explore options regarding departure assistance. Canadians in Sudan are encouraged to check the government website for updates and sign up for the Registration of Canadians Abroad service.
