Citizenship and Immigration Canada has announced special measures for Haiti as set out below. However, what remains unclear is how applications in process from the Dominican Republic, which were processed in Port-au-Prince as its responsible visa post, will be dealt with. Many sponsorship applications from the D.R. are "stuck" in Haiti and they should not be delayed. The government should process them ASAP in Santo Domingo or Mexico. Those applications should never have been processed in Haiti in the first place, and that was only done for political and not for practical reasons, since the D.R. is much more accessible to everyone, and thousands of Canadians regularly visit or live there. D.R. citizens should be separated and processed normally in other posts.
