Crisis in Gaza: Special measures for extended family

If you submitted a TRV application under these measures

We’re processing submitted TRV applications in the order we received them.

• If you submitted a TRV application before all spaces were filled, we’ll continue to process it under the special measures.
• If you submitted a TRV application but there were no more spaces available, we’ll email you about your application. Make sure you check your email regularly, including your junk or spam folders.

Fee refunds

We’re refunding temporary resident visa application fees and biometrics fees for eligible Palestinian nationals and their family members who applied to come to Canada under the Gaza special measures for extended family.

Find out who’s eligible for a refund and how to get one.

If you requested a unique reference code through our crisis web form, but you didn’t submit a TRV application

Requesting a unique code is not the same as submitting a TRV application.

We’re no longer accepting new TRV applications under these measures. If you did not submit a TRV application before all available spaces were filled, you won’t be able to submit one under these measures.

If you’re interested in applying to come to Canada, explore our other temporary or permanent resident immigration programs to see if there’s a program for you.
