Canada extends support for those fleeing Russia’s illegal and unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine

The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced that the Government of Canada will extend the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET). This means that: 1. Ukrainians and their family members will have until July 15, 2023, to apply overseas for a CUAET visa free of charge; 2. Anyone holding a CUAET visa will have until March 31, 2024, to travel to Canada under the special measures; and 3. CUAET holders who are already here in Canada will have until March 31, 2024, to extend or adjust their temporary status through these measures, free of charge.
