They will be able to apply for residency for themselves and their families if they had submitted their application by March 2020, even if their demand had already been rejected.

"As these individuals face an uncertain future in Canada, the current circumstances merit exceptional measures, in recognition of their exceptional service during the pandemic," Mr Mendicino said."They put themselves at risk. And we are grateful for their service, for their sacrifice. And for their instinct to put the needs of community ahead of all else," he said.

Those numbers are roughly half of all infections and deaths in Canada, which nationwide has recorded 121,000 cases with 9,050 fatalities.Nationwide, the new measure is expected to affect at most 1,000 people, lawyers for the asylum seekers told Radio-Canada on Friday.
