              The Implementation of Ministerial Instructions Stopping the Intake and Processing of Permanent Residence and Temporary Residence Applications from Individuals who Have Resided in, Travelled to, or Transited through Ebola Affected Countries


              Last Updated on November 12, 2014

              Operational Bulletin 593 – November 04, 2014

              The Implementation of Ministerial Instructions Stopping the Intake and Processing of Permanent Residence and Temporary Residence Applications from Individuals who Have Resided in, Travelled to, or Transited through Ebola Affected Countries

              Summary

              This Operational Bulletin (OB) gives operational instructions to officers. These instructions concern the Ministerial Instructions (MIs) that affect applications from the following individuals:

              • Individuals, who have resided in Ebola Affected Countries (EAC) during the last three months
              • Individuals, who have travelled to Ebola Affected Countries (EAC) during the last three months and,
              • Individuals, who have transited through Ebola Affected Countries (EAC) during the last three months

              Background

              Ministerial Instructions (MIs) serve to provide the best support to the attainment of the immigration goals established by the Government of Canada. This is in accordance with Section 87.3 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

              The Ministerial Instructions (MIs)

              The Minister issued Ministerial Instructions (MIs), which the Canada Gazette published on October 31, 2014. These Ministerial Instructions (MIs) aimed at protecting the public health and safety of Canadians against the threat of the Ebola virus disease.

              As a result, these Ministerial Instructions (MIs) affected applications from individuals, who:

              • Have resided in Ebola Affected Countries (EAC) during the last three months
              • Have travelled to Ebola Affected Countries (EAC) during the last three months and,
              • Have transited through Ebola Affected Countries (EAC) during the last three months

              In particular, the Ministerial Instructions (MIs):

              • Instruct officers to stop processing new applications for Temporary Residence (TR)
              • Instruct officers to stop processing pending Temporary Residence (TR) applications
              • Instruct officers to stop processing new applications for Permanent Residence (PR) and,
              • Instruct officers to withhold the issuance of Permanent Resident (PR) visas

              These instructions apply to applicants who:

              • Have resided in Ebola Affected Countries (EAC) during the last three months
              • Have travelled to Ebola Affected Countries (EAC) during the last three months and,
              • Have transited through Ebola Affected Countries (EAC) during the last three months

              The Ministerial Instructions (MIs) define the Ebola Affected Countries (EAC) as countries that have widespread and persistent (or intense) transmission of the Ebola virus disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) has already identified these countries.

              The Ministerial Instructions (MIs) do not apply to all the:

              • Permanent Resident (PR) types of applications and,
              • Temporary Resident (TR) types of applications

              Therefore, the officers would first need to determine whether the Ministerial Instructions (MIs) apply to the type of application submitted by the applicant. Thereafter, the officers would need to assess whether the Ministerial Instructions (MIs) describe the applicants themselves too.

              The Types of Applications Affected by the Ministerial Instructions (MIs)

              Officers would need to note that the Ministerial Instructions (MIs) only apply to foreign nationals. In particular, they apply to foreign nationals, who require a visa. 

              The Type of Application

              Is the Applicant Physically Inside or Outside Canada?

              Do the Ministerial Instructions (MIs) Apply?

              Outside

              Yes

              Application for Temporary Resident Visa

              Inside

              Application to Change Conditions or Extend Stay as a Visitor

              Inside

              Outside

              Yes

              Application for Restoration of Status

              Inside

              Yes (Refer to Temporary Resident Status Extensions in Canada for instructions)

              Application for a Temporary Resident Permit (including subsequent Temporary Resident Permit applications)

              Inside or outside

              Refer to High Profile Cases from Applicants Described in the Ministerial Instructions (MIs)

              Applications for Permanent Residence in the Economic and Family Classes (including international adoption)

              Outside

              Refer to The Process before Issuing a Permanent Resident Visa for instructions

              Applications for Permanent Residence in the Economic and Family Classes (including international adoption)

              Inside

              Only applicants who are inside Canada with valid temporary resident status remain unaffected by the Ministerial Instructions (MIs) (Refer to The Process before Issuing a Permanent Resident Visa for instructions)

              Applications for Permanent Residence in the Refugee Classes (including Protected Person applications in Canada)

              Inside or outside

              No

              Application for Permanent Residence on Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds

              Inside

              No

              Application for Pre-Removal Risk Assessment

              Inside

              No

              Officers must note that the Ministerial Instructions (MIs) do not apply to:

              • In-Canada refugee claims
              • Permanent resident travel documents
              • Permanent resident cards or,
              • Any citizenship applications

              The Ministerial Instructions (MIs) remain concerned with the applicant’s physical location. However, they do not have any concerns over whether the officers consider an application to be:

              • An in-Canada application or,
              • An “outside Canada” application

              The Process for Determining Whether the Authorities Have Described the Applicant in the Ministerial Instructions (MIs)

              The Process to Follow if Officers Receive New Information after the Temporary Residence File is in Process

              The Process to Follow if the Ministerial Instructions (MIs) Describe the Applicant

              High Profile Cases from Applicants Described in the Ministerial Instructions (MIs)

              The Process for Requests for Considerations on Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) Grounds

              Officers would need to note that in certain cases the Ministerial Instructions (MIs) do not prevent certain requests from overcoming the guidelines prescribed by the Ministerial Instructions (MIs). This is especially so in terms of requests for Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) consideration. 

              Officers could come across various requests for overcoming the Ministerial Instructions (MIs) based on Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) considerations. In this scenario, the officers could consider these requests. However, they would still need to adhere to the normal procedures prescribed.
