Canada is fast tracking existing Family Class applications under the Immigration and Refugee Act for people affected by the Asian tsunami disaster, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) announced on January 3.

Spouses, common law partners, conjugal partners and dependant children with immediate family members in Canada who have been directly affected by the tragedy are being given priority in processing. CIC has also announced that new application processing fees and the Right of Permanent Resident Fee will be waived for persons seriously affected.
