| Canada imposes visa ban on three Ebola-hit countries |
| 2014-11-01 |
| Oct 31 (Reuters) - Canada will stop issuing visas to people from the three West African nations where Ebola is widespread, the government said on Friday. The federal citizenship ministry, explaining the move, said in an official document that "the introduction or spread of the disease would pose an imminent and severe risk to public health". The country's official in charge of the response to Ebola said the move was medically unjustified. Under the new regulations, which come into force immediately, Canada will not process visa applications from foreign nationals who have been in an Ebola-affected country within the previous three months. The Conservative government's decision drew fire from Canada's official opposition New Democratic Party. |
