Ottawa will support Afghan citizens with travel authorizations to leave Afghanistan

On August 29, 2021, Canada and its allies have achieved a discussion with the Taliban to allow Afghan citizens to leave Afghanistan. Canada will issue travel authorization to Afghan citizens who have qualified under the Government programs whether applicants remain in Afghanistan or not. Afghan applicants who are able to leave Afghanistan and need further documentation from the Canadian Government to travel can get support at IRCC.SituationAfghanistan.IRCC@cic.gc.ca. Afghan residents who are in a third country should inform the Government of Canada to know where they are for further support.
