The Government of Canada has announced an extension of the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) measures, allowing displaced Ukrainians to continue seeking refuge in Canada amid ongoing conflict in their home country.
Initially introduced in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the CUAET program provides Ukrainians with temporary residence, work permits, and access to essential services in Canada. With the latest extension, eligible Ukrainians will have additional time to apply for these benefits and secure a safe haven in Canada.
Key Highlights of the Extension:
- Extended Application Window: The deadline for applications has been pushed forward, enabling more Ukrainians to apply for temporary residence.
- Work and Study Permits: Ukrainians arriving under CUAET can continue to apply for open work permits, allowing them to integrate into the Canadian workforce, as well as study permits for education opportunities.
- Pathway to Permanent Residence: The government is also exploring options to help eligible Ukrainians transition from temporary status to permanent residence.
Continued Support for Ukrainians in Canada
The Canadian government has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Ukrainian families by providing housing assistance, language training, and settlement services. Provincial governments and community organizations are also playing a vital role in welcoming and integrating displaced Ukrainians.
Further details regarding the new timelines and eligibility criteria will be released by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) in the coming days.
