On Tuesday, January 9, 2024, the Minister of IRCC, Marc Miller, announced the opening of a new Canada temporary residency pathway for Palestinians that have been affected by the crisis in Gaza and have relations in Canada. These relations could either be a spouse, grandparent, child, parent but must be an eligible Canadian citizen or permanent resident holder.

Palestinians that are eligible for this would also have the opportunity to apply for a free study and work permit on their arrival into Canada in order to assist them with their daily source of livelihood whilst in Canada.

In addition to this, they will also have access to a three-month health coverage under the Interim Federal Health Program to assist with urgent medical needs on arrival into Canada. Also, they will be assisted with language training for easy interaction with the job market and local community within town.

IRCC intends to follow up on this update as the plan is to stay on track with the targeted population required for the year. The duration of validity for these temporary resident visas with multiple entries will be up to three years, or the length of time that the individual’s passport is valid.

As of now, people who are in possession of a temporary residence visa that was issued in accordance with public policy will no longer be eligible for exemptions at the port of entry after January 9, 2025.
