These Ukrainians want to thrive in Canada. For most of them, the future is uncertain
IRCC gave CUAET holders another year to seek new permits, while only about 2,500 have become permanent residents, government data show.
- Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada extended the CUAET visa deadline by one year this week, providing relief to nearly 300,000 Ukrainians who arrived since 2022 under the emergency travel program.
- Ukrainians report significant anxiety regarding their ability to stay in Canada after developing roots over four years, according to Ihor Michalchyshyn, CEO of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress.
- IRCC approved only 3,200 of more than 25,000 residency applications submitted through family-based pathways, leaving many applicants in difficult positions. Mariia Bokovnia struggles to find stability due to employment uncertainty and her temporary status.
- Michalchyshyn called for simplified residency processes for those with Canadian work experience, similar to pathways offered to Hong Kong residents, and urged increasing provincial nominee program slots for Ukrainians.
- While the federal government expects many Ukrainians to return home once the conflict ends, Ottawa resident Shum remains "extremely grateful" for Canada's support despite anxiety over her expiring work permit next year.
