Support displaced Ukrainians arriving in Canada
On March 28, 2022, the Government of Canada announced it would expand settlement support for Ukrainians coming to Canada. Ukrainian nationals will continue to arrive in Canada via several pathways, including the Canada-Ukraine authorization for emergency travel (CUAET). All Canadians have an opportunity to support the arrival of displaced Ukrainians. Learn more about how you can help below by viewing our “How Can I Help” flowchart.
On March 22, 2023, the Government of Canada extended the deadline to apply for the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) to July 15, 2023. In addition, it announced that settlement services, including one-time financial assistance, will be available for displaced Ukrainians until March 31, 2024 (you can watch the video announcement on this link).
