Canada extended temporary relief for Sudanese nationals until October 2026

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has announced the continuation of temporary measures for individuals affected by the Sudan conflict, extending support until October 28, 2026. Sudanese nationals in Canada — as well as eligible foreign national family members of Canadian citizens and permanent residents — may continue to extend their temporary resident status or modify the conditions of their stay without paying the applicable fees. Sudanese nationals who are ready to receive approval for a permanent resident visa (PRV) to travel to Canada also remain exempt from the requirement to hold a valid passport or travel document. However, fee waivers are no longer available for limited-validity passports, temporary passports, emergency travel documents (ETDs), Canadian citizenship certificates, or permanent resident travel documents.
