According to new measures, applications of Afghan citizens who are immediate family members of Canadian citizens, persons registered under the Indian Act, or Canadian permanent residents;

and Afghan citizens’ protected persons’ applications for the permanent residence where a family member currently residing outside of Canada will be prioritized by the Canadian Government.
