Canadian Citizens: Canadian Passports

canadian citizens: The prime minister instructed our National Security Adviser, Daniel Jean, who was in touch over the course of the day with NSA Flynn to seek further clarification, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office told reporters, according to Metro News. Flynn confirmed that holders of Canadian passports, including dual citizens, will not be affected by the ban. The word from National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, relayed to the media by Canada's Washington embassy, ended a day of confusion and turmoil over a vaguely worded Trump policy that had appeared to ensnare tens of thousands of Canadian citizens and abandon 150 years of border tradition. We have been assured that Canadian citizens travelling on Canadian passports will be dealt with in the usual process. And it left Canadian communities confused, alarmed and furious, reassessing both their travel plans and their sense of their place on the continent. The Friday order had left Trudeau scrambling not only to develop an appropriate response but to figure out what exactly was happening. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
