Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is introducing new immigration streams for Ukrainians who wish to come to Canada temporarily or permanently.

The new measures were announced on March 3 by Immigration Minister Sean Fraser and are part of the Government of Canada's response to the crisis brought on by the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine.

As early as two weeks from now, Ukrainians who want to come to Canada temporarily may be able to do so under the new Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel, which will be open to people fleeing war-torn Ukraine. The number of Ukrainians who can apply will be unlimited and all Ukrainian nationals will be able to apply through this new stream. Once their background checks have been completed and they have passed a security check, their stay in Canada can be extended for a minimum of two years.
