Petition to the Government of Canada
- The 1000 applicant cap on Palestinians in Gaza is discriminatory when compared to the Canada-Ukraine Authorization For Emergency Travel (CUAET) granted to Ukrainians fleeing similar atrocities since 2022;
- The extensive and invasive application requirements are impractical for those who are facing the current atrocities and inequitable compared to Ukranians;
- Failure to provide clear updates on the Palestinian visa program has led to confusion for applicants, their families and potential future applicants; and
- There are Canadian citizens in Gaza that urgently require evacuation.
