The Immigration Minister, refugees, and citizenship of Canada Sean Fraser has revealed the lunch of the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET), an accelerated temporary residence pathway for Ukrainians fleeing country home due to war. Fraser noted that the Ukrainians and their immediate family members not minding the nationality may stay in Canada for up to three years, more so overseas applicants need to apply online for a visitor visa and provide their biometrics.
The Canadian government encourages CUAET applicants to apply for a three years open work permit at the same time as their visa application to enable them to work in Canada for any employer.
It was also said that applicants who do not have a valid passport may still apply. Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will issue a single journey travel document on a case-by-case basis, where appropriate.
The new measures include benefits for Ukrainian workers, students and visitors, and their family members who are already in Canada. Ukrainians in Canada may either apply to extend their visitor status or work permit for three years, apply for a new work or study permit, or extend their existing permit. IRCC will also waive all extension and work or study permit application fees.
Ukrainians and their family members are exempt from Canada’s COVID-19 vaccination entry requirements, but they must still meet all other public health requirements for travel, such as quarantine and testing. Anyone arriving under the CUAET must use ArriveCAN to upload their travel documents before arrival.
Since the beginning of the crisis in Ukraine, Canada has undertaken a number of immigration-related efforts to enable Ukrainians to seek refuge in the country. These efforts include faster processing, extensions, and fee waivers for immigration documents and applications. As part of its response to the crisis in Ukraine, Canada has announced $117 million in funding to implement all of these special immigration measures aimed at expediting the arrival of Ukrainians.
