Canada Ebola Visa Suspension

Canada's Immigration Minister has announced the immediate suspension of visa applications from three East African nations currently battling an Ebola outbreak.

The policy affects citizens of Uganda, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, including those already holding valid travel documents.

Officials stated the measure is a necessary precaution to protect public health as the Bundibugyo strain continues to spread.

The decision has drawn criticism from human rights groups, who argue that the blanket suspension unfairly targets vulnerable populations seeking medical or humanitarian aid.
