Canada Immigration Update: Temporary Ebola Measures Affect PR, TRV and eTA Holders

Canada has temporarily suspended certain immigration documents and paused final decisions on affected applications for foreign nationals currently living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, and South Sudan.

According to reported Canada Gazette figures, more than 36,000 permanent residence applications may be affected by these temporary measures. Permanent resident visas, temporary resident visas, eTAs, and other travel documents issued to affected individuals may also be suspended during this period.

This does not mean every citizen of these countries is affected. The measure is based mainly on where the applicant is currently living or where they resided when they applied.

For many applicants and families, this update may create uncertainty, especially for those awaiting final PR decisions, holding valid PR visas, or preparing to travel to Canada.

At Althea Mitchell Barrister & Solicitor, we help individuals and families understand how immigration changes may affect their applications, status, travel plans, and available legal options.

If you or a loved one may be affected by these temporary measures, seek legal guidance before making travel or application decisions.

Americans are moving fast on Canadian citizenship by descent.

New data reported by The Canadian Press shows that in January 2026, U.S. citizens made up the largest share of citizenship-by-descent applications to Canada, with nearly 2,500 Americans applying for proof of Canadian citizenship.

That is more than ten times the number of applications submitted by citizens of the United Kingdom, the second-highest country on the list.

This surge follows Canada’s Bill C-3, which came into effect on December 15, 2025, and changed the first-generation limit for citizenship by descent in some situations.

For many Americans with Canadian ancestry, this may mean a parent, grandparent, or even earlier Canadian connection could now be worth reviewing.

But proving citizenship is not just about family history. It requires the right documentation, a clear lineage, and a properly prepared application for a citizenship certificate.

At Althea Mitchell Barrister & Solicitor, we help individuals and families assess their eligibility, organize supporting documents, and navigate the proof of Canadian citizenship process with clarity and confidence.

If you are in the U.S. and believe you may have Canadian ancestry, this may be the time to explore your options.

In a candid moment that few political leaders are willing to have publicly, Prime Minister Mark Carney has acknowledged something economists have been saying for months.

Canada’s decision to reduce immigration levels is contributing to slower economic growth. Canada’s immigration conversation is changing.

With slower immigration growth ahead, applicants, families, workers, and business owners need more than hope. They need clarity, preparation, and the right legal guidance.

Immigration remains important to Canada’s economy, but the process is becoming more selective, more strategic, and more documentation driven.

Whether you are exploring Express Entry, Business Immigration, Spousal Sponsorship, Humanitarian and Compassionate applications, or Family Class Immigration, now is the time to understand your options clearly.

At Althea Mitchell Barrister & Solicitor, we listen, guide, and help you approach your immigration journey with confidence.

3 Ways to Confirm Your Immigration Lawyer Is Not a Scam in Canada

Canada’s immigration system is open and transparent. Before you pay anyone to handle your immigration matter, take a few minutes to confirm they are real, licensed, and authorized.

1. Search their name on the Law Society directory

If they claim to be a lawyer in Ontario, check the Law Society of Ontario Lawyer and Paralegal Directory. You can confirm their name, licence status, practice status, and any restrictions.

2. Confirm they are authorized to give immigration advice

For immigration consultants, check the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants public register. They must be listed as active.

3. Be careful with pressure, fake promises, and unclear payments

No genuine lawyer can guarantee visa approval. Be cautious if someone pressures you to pay quickly, refuses to give a proper name, avoids written agreements, or only communicates through informal channels.

Before you trust someone with your immigration future, verify first.

At Althea Mitchell Barrister & Solicitor, we believe informed clients make safer decisions.
