A special visa program launched to relocate extended family members from war-torn Gaza to Canada has left thousands waiting in dangerous conditions for nearly two years. Institutional resistance and resource shortages have plagued the initiative from its inception, with only 880 people arriving in Canada out of 5,000 applicants.

Government sources reveal that insufficient funding and a lack of Arabic-speaking staff have severely hampered processing capabilities, leaving desperate families separated between Gaza, neighbouring countries, and Canada as applications remain stalled in security screening phases.
