One of my recommendations is for Canada to introduce an emergency visa program in the same way as what was introduced for Ukrainians fleeing conflict, which has yet to be done. There's only this reunification program, which has been capped at 3,250 and has financial requirements and biometric requirements that the Ukrainian program didn't have.
We have the capacity. It's a matter of political will, at least as a signal. It's not a matter of resettling everyone. It's a matter of simply introducing a program that will allow for these processing times to be sped up so that the families that do have a chance to make it here can come in an expedited, immediate manner, because there are stories of families.... You can speak to Canadian families who have lost loved ones who were waiting due to IRCC delays.
This is costing lives, the fact that there is not yet a comprehensive emergency visa program for Sudanese Canadians.
