Canada's immigration minister says Canadian permanent residents from seven Muslim-majority countries targeted by a U.S. travel ban will still be able to cross the border. Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen said Canada will offer temporary residency to people stranded here as a result of the ban. He says there are no people currently stranded at Canadian airports because of the ban. Hussen also said Sunday that Canada will offer temporary residency to people stranded in Canada as a result of the ban. "[Canada] is and always will be a place of sanctuary, safety, welcome and opportunity," said Calgary Mayor Mayor Naheed Nenshi on Twitter.
