As the conflict between Israel and Iran intensifies, hundreds of Canadians and permanent residents have fled the region, while approximately 11,500 remain in Israel, the West Bank, and Iran. The Canadian government is facilitating departures, including arranging commercial flights and transport through neighboring countries. However, with limited diplomatic presence in Iran, assistance options there are constrained. Government officials confirmed that many have left independently without notifying authorities, complicating the effort to ascertain the total number of evacuees.
The situation remains highly volatile and it is difficult to get a grasp of the exact number of Canadians who have left each part of the region.
Roughly 100 more are expected to leave Tuesday with a flight booked from Aqaba, Jordan, to Athens.
