Ottawa is extending temporary measures to help\u00a0Sudanese\u00a0nationals in Canada for another year by allowing them to continue to extend their stay or change their statuses as\u00a0visitors<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0students<\/span><\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0temporary workers<\/span><\/a>\u00a0free of charge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extending these temporary special measures for foreign nationals who fled Sudan with their Canadian family members, including Canadian citizens and Canadian permanent residents, until Oct. 27, 2024,\u201d tweeted Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada on Monday.<\/p>\n

Fighting erupted in Khartoum,\u00a0Sudan\u2019s capital city and other sites across that country, in April as two rival military factions began their battle for control of the eastern African nation.<\/p>\n

Although both warring parties resumed negotiations to end the war last week, it has already claimed more than 9,000 lives, including more than 410 civilians, and displaced an estimated 5.6 million people since April. Another 4,500 people have been wounded.<\/p>\n

\u201cCanada continues to call for an end to violence in\u00a0Sudan\u00a0and stands with the\u00a0Sudanese\u00a0people as they strive for peace,\u201d said then-Immigration Minister Sean Fraser earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany\u00a0Sudanese\u00a0nationals currently in Canada can\u2019t return home due to the dangerous and volatile situation in their home country. That\u2019s why we\u2019re taking steps to help them extend their stay here, so they can remain with their families, continue with their studies or find work in safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under the temporary measures in place for Sudanese nationals in Canada who left after the conflict began and entered Canada before July 15 this year is the ability for them to extend their temporary resident statuses or apply for other temporary resident documents.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re prioritizing the processing of complete temporary and permanent residence applications from those living in Sudan,\u201d notes the IRCC on its website. \u201cIf you have an application in progress, you don\u2019t need to apply again.\u201d<\/p>\n
