Ottawa will send two military planes regularly to Kabul for evacuations
Two Canadian military planes will ‘fly regularly’ to Afghanistan as part of the international effort to evacuate Afghan civilians and citizens fleeing the Taliban takeover. Canada reached a deal to allow Canadian military planes to fly between Canada and Kabul. However, the Canadian Government gave no details on when the flights will begin arriving in Kabul or returning back. These flights will continue ‘as long as the security situation on the ground permits, and will focus on evacuating Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and Afghan Nationals who have an enduring relationship with Canada’s mission in Afghanistan.’

IRCC accepted more applications under the International Graduate Stream of the new TR to PR pathway
In May, within the first day of launching the temporary residence to permanent residence (TR to PR) program, Canada reached its intake cap of 40,000 international student graduates. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) got significantly more applications than intended for International Graduates Stream. Due to a technical error, IRCC received 7,307 additional applications. Following the technical error in the system, Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino approved a temporary public policy on June 28, allowing for the 7,307 applications to be processed.
