Canada: extension of Ebola-related restrictions keeps Congolese in uncertainty

The Canadian government has extended the exceptional measures aimed at reducing Ebola exposure until November 27, 2026, resulting in the suspension of many immigration requests and travel documents for Congolese nationals. This situation causes daily difficulties for students, workers, and families, with some being stranded in Kinshasa while their classes have already started in Canada. Temporary residents also face significant financial losses due to repeated travel postponements and ticket changes. The extension of these restrictions continues to fuel uncertainty among Congolese wishing to travel to or stay in Canada.
