Canada unveils special immigration measures for disaster-affected foreign workers, students

Canada has introduced special immigration measures to assist foreign workers, students, and visitors whose lives and immigration status have been disrupted by natural disasters in the country. The measures, which run from April 1, 2026, to November 30, 2028, allow eligible temporary residents up to six months to apply to restore their status after losing it, compared with the normal 90-day period.

The special measures are intended to give disaster-affected temporary residents additional time to regularise their immigration status while dealing with the consequences of major natural disasters.
