The federal government is promising to speed up immigration applications from Haitians with family in Canada.

Immigration Minister Jason Kenney also announced in Ottawa today that Haitians currently in Canada temporarily will also be allowed to extend their stay.

He says applicants must identify themselves as being directly and significantly affected by Tuesday's earthquake.

Kenney also says priority consideration will also be given to pending adoption cases with the visa office in Port-au-Prince.
