Source: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Amidst Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, Canada stands firm in its commitment to support those seeking refuge. This includes offering a safe temporary home and necessary assistance to displaced individuals.<\/p>\n On March 22, 2023, Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, the Honourable Sean Fraser, announced the extension of the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel<\/a> (CUAET). Key aspects of this extension include:<\/p>\n Upon arrival, Ukrainians will benefit from settlement services and can access a one-time financial aid<\/a> and emergency accommodations for up to two weeks, if necessary.<\/p>\n Canada collaborates with provincial, territorial, and municipal partners, along with service providers and the Ukrainian-Canadian community, to support Ukrainians fleeing the conflict. This initiative builds on existing efforts to bolster Ukraine’s security and hold Russia accountable.<\/p>\n “We remain committed to helping those fleeing Russia\u2019s illegal and unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine. We continue working to provide Ukrainians with a temporary safe haven and the vital settlement services and supports they need to thrive in communities across Canada. Canada will continue to stand with the people of Ukraine, including those who\u2019ve been forced to flee Russia\u2019s senseless invasion.”<\/p>\n \u2013 The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Media Contacts:<\/strong><\/p>\n Bahoz Dara Aziz<\/strong> Media Relations<\/strong> The Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) allows Ukrainians and their families to temporarily reside in Canada with the option of a free work or study permit.<\/p>\n They can reside in Canada for up to three years as temporary residents.<\/p>\n Ukrainians can still apply for Canadian visas or permits, but usual fees and requirements will apply.<\/p>\n Yes, they can access settlement services, including financial assistance and emergency housing.<\/p>\n Yes, the extended status and settlement services can assist in transitioning to permanent residency through existing programs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As Russia continues its illegal and unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine, Canada will remain steadfast in its support for those who have been forced to flee.
