More than 800 Canadians, permanent residents and family members are known to have left Iran, Israel and the West Bank since the government began offering help to those looking to escape the deadly conflict, officials say.
Global Affairs Canada said in its daily update late Wednesday that the agency is also aware of many Canadians across the Middle East region who have reached safety independently.
A tenuous ceasefire between Israel and Iran appeared to hold for a third day Thursday, following 12 days of missile and drone attacks between the two countries.
