The federal government has launched a new immigration program for Ukrainians fleeing their embattled country, allowing those in Canada with family to receive permanent resident status.
Ukrainian nationals fleeing the ongoing war in Ukraine arrive at Trudeau Airport in Montreal on May 29, 2022. A new immigration pathway being launched by the federal government opens up permanent residency to Ukrainians living in Canada with one or more family members.
The government said more details will be released closer to when the program launches on Oct. 23, 2023. The program will have no cost attached to it and will be in place for one year. Under the Canada-Ukraine authorization for emergency travel , launched in March 2022, Ukrainians were able to come to Canada and live and work for up to three years. They benefited from a variety of measures meant to speed up the visa process, including prioritized processing and waived fees.
One key unknown was what set of questions the government would be using to determine eligibility and approvals throughout the process, he noted.
