In a bid to also stop the spread of Ebola into
its borders, the Canadian government today
October 31st announced its suspension of
visa applications for travelers from Ebola-hit
countries.
Below is the statement released today by
Canada's health minister, Rona Ambrose
"Our number one priority is to protect
Canadians. We continue to work with
domestic and international partners to
aid efforts to respond to the outbreak in
West Africa, while strengthening our
domestic preparedness here at home."
The Canadian immigration minister, Chris
Alexander said Canadian immigration
authorities will not process any visa
application for individuals who have been in
any Ebola-affected nation 'within three
months prior to the date of the application.'
"Canada has been a leader in the
international efforts to respond to the
Ebola outbreak in West Africa. The
precautionary measures announced
today build on actions we have taken to
protect the health and safety of
Canadians here at home." he said.
