Resolution number
13
Whereas
- Protected Persons require Protected Persons Status documents to apply for Canada Student Loans and for Canadian refugee travel documents;
- Some Protected Persons, particularly those with landing delays (for whatever reason),are issued Protected Persons Status documents with a validity of six months;
- The six month limit prevents both acquisition of loans and the ability to travel outside of Canada:
Therefore be it resolved
That the CCR request that Citizenship and Immigration Canada adopt as policy that all Protected Persons Status documents have a validity for a minimum of two years.
