Source: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Canada remains a steadfast ally to the people of Ukraine, offering them a safe haven. The Canadian government has been proactive in facilitating travel for Ukrainians and ensuring they have the necessary support to thrive upon arrival.<\/p>\n On June 2, 2022, in Ottawa, Ministers Sean Fraser and Karina Gould revealed that Ukrainians in Canada can now access transitional financial support. This aid will help cover essential expenses such as transport and housing as they integrate into Canadian communities and secure employment. The package includes a one-time payment of $3,000 per adult and $1,500 per child under 18.<\/p>\n Eligible individuals include Ukrainians and their families in Canada with a valid work, study, temporary resident permit, or visitor record under the Canada-Ukraine authorization for emergency travel (CUAET). Applications for this assistance can be submitted through the Canadian government’s online portal<\/a>.<\/p>\n Funds are typically disbursed through direct deposit within five business days of application. Applicants must have a Canadian bank account matching the name on their temporary resident status and are advised to obtain a Canadian social insurance number (SIN) promptly for employment purposes.<\/p>\n This financial aid reflects Canada’s commitment to welcoming and supporting Ukrainians affected by Russia’s invasion. Beyond financial assistance, Canada has arranged charter flights from Poland, with the latest arriving in Halifax. Settlement services, such as language training and job search assistance, are also available to facilitate a smooth transition.<\/p>\n \u201cOur commitment to Ukrainians fleeing Russia\u2019s illegal war doesn\u2019t stop once they\u2019ve arrived in Canada. We will continue to help those seeking refuge live and thrive in communities across the country. This one-time financial assistance will be crucial in addressing the immediate challenges faced by Ukrainians who have left so much behind to find a safe haven in Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2013 The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cIt is crucially important that Ukrainians fleeing the war in Ukraine are supported as they arrive in Canada.
