Ottawa has approved visas for 3,008 Gazans to date, according to government documents.

Canada, through its 5,000-visa program, is “the only country in the world” to provide residency opportunities to Gazans who do not qualify under immigration programs, Immigration Canada said in a June 3 briefing note first obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
