CANADA SUSPENDS VISA FOR RESIDENTS OF EBOLA AFFECTED AFRICAN NATIONS

In a bid to stop the spread of Ebola Epidemic Virus, the Canadian immigration minister, Chris Alexander, today October 31st, made it known that; Canadian immigration authorities will not process any visa application for individuals who have been in any Ebola-affected nation 'within three months prior to the date of the application.'

He emphasised thus:"Canada has been a leader in the international efforts to respond to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. The precautionary measures announced today build on actions we have taken to protect the health and safety of Canadians here at home."

 “Our number one priority is to protect Canadians. We continue to work with domestic and international partners to aid efforts to respond to the outbreak in West Africa, while strengthening our domestic preparedness here at home."Said Canada's health minister, Rona Ambrose
