On July 9, 2024, Canada extended temporary measures to support Israeli and Palestinian nationals in Canada until July 31, 2025. These measures assist foreign national family members of Canadians and permanent residents who left Israel and the Palestinian Territories due to the conflict and those already in Canada with valid temporary resident status. They allow for fee-exempt study permits, open work permits, and extensions of temporary resident status. As of March 8, 2024, eligible individuals can apply for fee-exempt status extensions. These measures have been implemented to provide relief and stability to those affected by the ongoing conflict, ensuring they can continue their lives in Canada without the added stress of immigration-related fees.
