Manitobans Urge Action on Visa Backlog for Family Members in Gaza

Manitobans are expressing growing frustration over the lengthy delays in securing visas for their family members in Gaza. Many have been waiting for nearly two years, with some applications pending for over 18 months. The situation has left loved ones in Gaza facing dire conditions, as families in Canada seek to bring them to safety.

Key Issues

• Delays of over 18 months for visa applications.
• Backlog attributed to complications within Canada’s special measures program.
• Lack of communication and clarity exacerbating anxiety for families.

Call to Action

Advocates for these families are urging the Canadian government to take immediate action to clear the backlog. They emphasize the urgent need for reunification, highlighting the emotional and physical toll the prolonged wait has taken on both those in Canada and their relatives abroad.

As the situation continues to unfold, Manitobans hope for a swift resolution that will allow them to reunite with their loved ones in Gaza.
