Canada may have to consider updating future supports for Ukrainians seeking refuge from war, federal Immigration Minister Sean Fraser said.
Just over 610,000 people had been approved to come to Canada under the program as of March 16, and about 190,000 have arrived.The arrival of large numbers of Ukrainians is creating a crisis for immigrant settlement groups that saythey are having difficulty finding housing for the evacuees.
The centre said Ukrainians arriving in other Canadian cities are heading to Calgary because rents are lower than in larger cities such as Toronto and Vancouver. “This has been a unique program in that we’ve developed it in response to events that were playing out in real time,” Fraser said. “The benefits have been extended until the end of March of next year for people who arrive up until then,” he said.
