In addition, appropriate sanctions will be applied to partners of such persons”, – stated in the message the Ministry of foreign Affairs of Canada.

The assets and accounts of individuals in the “list” will be frozen within Canada and they will be denied entry into the country in accordance with migration law and refugee protection.
