Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has announced it will be waiving fees for BC residents who need to replace documents that were destroyed in the floods that displaced nearly 15,000 people last month.
Minister of Immigration Sean Fraser says the special measures will cover submissions from November 15th until May 31st for passports, refugee travel documents, certificates of identity, citizenship certificates and permanent resident cards.
He says this will allow Canadians and permanent residents time to sort out what documents they need to replace and to apply at no cost.
Immigration Canada says fees will also be waived for the reissuing of status documents that were lost or damaged, and for temporary residents applying to extend their visitor status, study permit or work permit because of the crisis.
