Updated instructions are available for resettlement final decisions, as well as travel resumption and arrangements made for refugees to be resettled in Canada prior to their travel and after their arrival.
Instructions outline which resettlement cases may be considered for travel to Canada, which steps to follow for issuing travel documents to those who are exempt from the travel restrictions, which documents are given to refugees before travel, the process for clients booking their own travel and the requirements upon arrival at the port of entry.
