Citizenship and Immigration committee  Is that political change in Afghanistan, or in Canada?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We fought the Taliban for 20 years, and then the United States and the entire NATO left Afghanistan back to the same Taliban. We fought them for 20 years. At the moment, we don't see any hope on what the future will bring to Afghanistan, but yes, things can be changed. We might

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, they should.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  They say that they do not want to do biometrics in Kabul since the Canadian government does not have any recognition of the Taliban, so they do not accept that yet.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I have heard from the news, yes, that there are Afghans in Ukraine, and they are stuck. I think they are trying to move to Canada, but I don't think they have received any help. We don't have direct connection with them, since we are the representatives of the former Afghan Canad

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We've been telling immigration in IRCC weekly meetings that they can take the biometrics when our families move to third countries, like Pakistan. They can do their process once they're eligible in the system, and they can bring them in. However, the system makes them delay and t

Afghanistan committee  Thank you so much.

Afghanistan committee  Can I say one thing? Can Mr. O'Toole send or email the question he was trying to ask us? That was very important, I believe. Thank you.

Afghanistan committee  As Canada and the United States are the best allies with the countries that are controlling the airport in Kabul, they can create flights through countries to Qatar and then they could process and bring the applicants to Canada.

Afghanistan committee  My personal application took six months. Also we had the Canadian Forces available in Kandahar, so we had zero problems like the ones our families are having now.
