The Canadian government has denied reports that Kenyans can now travel to the country for job opportunities.
This follows an announcement by Kenya’s Foreign Minister Alfred Mutua on Tuesday that Kenyans would now be able to go and live or work in Canada.
Mr Mutua, who was on an official visit to the country, said he held a meeting with the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship of Canada (IRCC) Sean Fraser and agreed on the various migration opportunities.
He said the process for those who wish to go to Canada was simple but required diligence.
“Disinformation is circulating which suggests that special programs are welcoming Kenyan immigrants. This is false, and the immigration programs referenced do not exist,” IRCC said in a statement.
The IRCC said for accurate information on how to move to Canada, Kenyans should visit the country’s immigration website.
