"We cannot just say today you are welcome and tomorrow just shut the door and deport all of them. That's also very not Canadian style," Shatilova said in an interview on Wednesday. "They came for safety. And Canada is built on immigrants. We've always been known to support those in need," she said, adding Ukrainians who came to Canada to escape the war are contributing to the Canadian economy."
"In March 2022 Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada created a temporary measure to provide immediate help to hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fleeing the war, called the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel or CUAET visa. In a statement Wednesday, the IRCC said eligible CUAET visa holders who need to extend their status in Canada can apply before March 31, 2026, for an extension of up to three years."
Canada introduced the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) visa in March 2022 to provide immediate help to hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fleeing the war. Eligible CUAET holders can apply before March 31, 2026 for extensions of up to three years, including a new open work permit, renewal of an existing open work permit, or a new study permit subject to standard fees. Applicants can continue to benefit from maintained status while extensions are processed. A pause on removals for Ukraine remains in effect in recognition of the ongoing war. Many Ukrainian arrivals lack homes to return to and are contributing to the Canadian economy, prompting calls to simplify permanent residency pathways.
