On July 14, 2022, the Government of Canada announced that officials are still processing applications from Canadian permanent and temporary residents who were directly affected by the 2021 floods in British Columbia. The special measures that were released on December 24, 2021, came to an end on May 31, 2022. These measures helped permanent and temporary residents of the province to extend or restore their status and replace the lost, damaged or inaccessible documents issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
