Earlier this week Australia banned travel from Ebola infected African countries.
Today Canadian officials announced that the country will no long issue visas from Ebola countries.
We’re learning Canada will no longer be issuing visas to travellers from Ebola affected countries. Details at noon.

News 1130 reported:
Canada is following in Australia’s footsteps and is suspending visa applications for residents and nationals of the West African countries battling Ebola.
The Department of Citizenship and Immigration has issued a bulletin saying it will stop issuing visas in the worker, student or visitor class and won’t issue any pending permanent residency visas for people from those countries, either.
Any applications already in the system will also not be processed at this time.
