Immigration measures and support for Ukrainians and their families

Our commitment to Ukraine

Canada is committed to supporting those affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

We’re helping Ukrainian families get visitor visas as quickly as possible so that they can find a safe, temporary home in Canada.

We’re also actively working with provinces, territories and settlement organizations across the country to expand the services available to Ukrainians and their family members while in Canada.

Measures put in place include

• priority processing of Canada-Ukraine authorization for emergency travel applications
• increased newcomer services for Ukrainians arriving in Canada
• waiving of fees
• support for flights to Canada

We’ll continue to explore other ways we can help those affected, including through the development of a permanent residence program.
