Canada Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel measures extended for those affected by processing delays
On April 4, 2024, the Government of Canada reported the following…
As Russia continues its illegal and unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine, Canada continues to adapt its response to support those who have found a temporary safe haven here.
The overseas application intake under the Canada–Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) closed on July?15, 2023. CUAET holders had until March?31, 2024, to travel to Canada under these special measures.
IRCC is now extending some CUAET measures to people who applied overseas before the deadline and who experienced delays with the processing of their application and received a positive decision on or after February?4, 2024. These people will have until July?31, 2024, to arrive in Canada and apply for an inland study permit and an open work permit free of charge, once approved.
Settlement services also remain available to all Ukrainian temporary residents and their dependants in Canada until March?31, 2025, so they can be fully involved in Canadian communities while they are here. The one-time financial assistance and the emergency temporary accommodations supports will no longer be available to any CUAET holders arriving in Canada after March?31, 2024. -Posted by Sofia Mirza, K.C., Winnipeg Immigration Lawyer
