On May 4, 2023, the Immigration Minister waived application fees for foreign nationals who fled Sudan with their Canadian family members – including Canadian citizens and permanent residents.
After arriving in Canada, Sudanese nationals can apply for an open work or study permit and permanent residence under the family class without paying the processing fee. Applicants seeking to enter Canada will continue to be subject to all other legal requirements and admissibility criteria.
Canada continues to call for an end to violence in Sudan and stands with the Sudanese people as they strive for peace. We are deeply concerned for the safety of people in the area, including families of Canadian citizens and permanent residents who have been forced to flee their homes.
The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced that the Government of Canada will waive temporary residence application fees for foreign nationals who fled Sudan with their Canadian family members.
The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship stated:
“Canada continues to call for an end to violence in Sudan and stands with the Sudanese people as they strive for peace. We remain committed to helping the family members of Canadians who have been forced to flee this violence stay together and find safety in Canada.”
