Document #1090241
IRB – Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (Author)
Information received from Citizenship and
Immigration Canada (CIC) indicates that the Canadian Embassy in
Addis Ababa is active and has been in existence since 1968 (CIC,
Refugee Affairs Branch, Asylum Division 9 Oct. 1996).
Information on whether the embassy
processed sponsorship applications by Canadian residents for their
dependents in Ethiopia between 1990 and 1994 could not be found
among the sources currently available to the DIRB.
This Response was prepared after
researching publicly accessible information currently available to
the DIRB within time constraints. This Response is not, and does
not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular
claim to refugee status or asylum.
