Canadian Immigration Minister Mark Miller spoke about this, writes Mirror of the Week.
However, Miller noted that his country still intends to remain “flexible” to respond to events in Ukraine. According to his estimates, about 300 thousand Ukrainians will arrive in Canada by the end of March, and hundreds of thousands more are eligible to come here under the simplified admission program (CUAET).
Meanwhile, Ukrainian human rights groups last week called on Miller to create a special program for permanent residence in Canada for Ukrainians who came to the country after the full-scale Russian invasion, saying it would be dangerous for many of them to return once their visas expired.
Canada created a special simplified entry program for Ukrainians – Canada-Ukraine authorization for emergency travel (CUAET) after the full-scale Russian invasion. It allowed an unlimited number of Ukrainians who left the country because of the war to work, study and stay in Canada for up to three years.
The program allowed refugees to obtain a free three-year permit to work, live and study in Canada. The application deadline for CUAET expired in mid-July 2023, but visa holders under this program have until March 31 of this year to come to Canada.
