Canada blocked visa applications without explanation for Gazans fleeing war: lawyer
The visa program for Palestinians fleeing Gaza had a 5,000 applicant limit; many were blocked from completing applications with no explanation, prompting legal action.
- The Canadian government opened a temporary visa program in January 2024 for Gazans fleeing war, allowing family members in Canada to apply for their relatives.
- A lawyer said despite her clients applying within a month after the program's opening, none received reference codes to complete their applications or any explanation for the delay.
- In March 2024, the lawyer's clients received emails stating the program had reached its cap and closed, leaving them unable to complete applications despite following instructions.
