Canada Sends Immigration Support Offer To Lebanon

 

The government of Canada is currently working to establish an immigration task force that will offer immigration support to the people of Lebanon.

The Minister of Immigration and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada issued a statement about the news.

In the statement, the minister indicated that the task force will assist those that were affected by the tragic events that happened in Beirut.

The Honourable Marco E. L. Mendicino, P.C., M.P., Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, and the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Foreign Affairs, issued the following statement:

Canadians were shocked and deeply saddened by the explosion in Beirut last week. We mourn those who lost their lives and wish the survivors a speedy recovery. The Government of Canada’s first priority is ensuring that affected Canadians and their families have the consular assistance and other support they need to navigate this difficult time. Canada is setting up a task force on Lebanon to support the delivery of consular services, and to ensure that questions related to immigration can be quickly addressed. Lebanese citizens in Canada on a temporary basis are also able to extend their stay in Canada if they are unable to return home because of the explosion. Canada will waive the cost of documents related to renewing their status for them as well as for Canadians and permanent residents in Lebanon who need to come home. These commitments are further to a pledge of up to $30 million in humanitarian and development assistance for the people of Lebanon. This funding will help trusted partners like the Red Cross and the Humanitarian Coalition to address immediate humanitarian needs and support early recovery efforts. The people-to-people ties between Canada and Lebanon are strong. Canada will continue to monitor the situation closely to ensure that survivors of the recent tragedy receive the help they need. We remain engaged and stand ready to assist however we can.

The government of Canada has committed to allow Lebanese citizens that are temporarily in Canada to extend their stay if they are unable to go back to their house because of the explosion.

Not only that, but the citizens of Lebanon are also in Canada and are temporary residents, citizens of the country, or are PRs that are in Lebanon and are needing to return back to Canada will be exempted from fees that are related to the renewal of their status documents.
