Ottawa ends permanent residency exemption for refugees with undeclared family
- The Canadian government ended a temporary policy allowing some refugees to sponsor family members not listed in their original immigration documents for permanent residency.
- Previously, permanent residents were barred from sponsoring family members not named in their initial immigration applications, but the temporary policy allowed exceptions for seven years.
- The policy addressed cases where parents discovered children were alive or had new children after filing applications.
- Now, affected individuals must apply for exemptions on humanitarian or compassionate grounds instead of using the expired sponsorship policy.
