Canadian Citizens: Kate Purchase and State Department

canadian citizens: We have been assured that Canadian citizens travelling on Canadian passports will be dealt with in the usual process, said the email from Kate Purchase, Trudeau's director of communications, according to CTV. Earlier the U.S. State Department said Canadians with dual citizenship from Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Yemen and Libya would be denied entry for the next three months along with citizens from those countries. An email from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office late Saturday said the U.S. has given assurances that Canadians with dual citizenship will not be turned away at the border. But Purchase's email said Trudeau's National Security Adviser Daniel Jean and other officials were in contact with their American counterparts, including Trump's National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. The federal government has been low key in its response to the American ban. NSA Flynn confirmed that holders of Canadian passports, including dual citizens, will not be affected by the ban, Purchase said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
