Canada’s Gaza Temporary Resident Visa program was supposed to reunite Palestinian Canadians with loved ones trapped in Gaza, but it’s barely delivering. Out of 5,000 approved spots, only 860 people have actually been able to make it to Canada.
The rest are stuck due to border closures, security risks, and Canada’s slow process. NDP MP Jenny Kwan is calling it out, saying there’s “zero political will” to fix the problems. Families like those represented by the Gaza Canadians League share heartbreaking stories of waiting while bombs fall.
With time running out, many are asking: Will Canada step up, expand the Gaza family immigration program, and speed up reunification before it’s too late?
