Canada is expected to close applications for temporary emergency visas offered to Ukrainians fleeing Russian aggression Saturday.
“We are waiting to hear what the government decides will be the new, July 16 and onward parameters for Ukrainians to come to Canada,” said Ukrainian Canadian Congress executive director Ihor Michalchyshyn.
The Immigration Department is “continuing to assess how our immigration programs can best support Ukrainian nationals, now and in the future, including potential new pathways to permanent residence,” said spokesperson Isabelle Dubois. “Our view is that there should be open work permits for anybody who continues to apply to come to Canada, as well as some supports in terms of services and language,” Michalchyshyn said.
Michalchyshyn said the war is not over and is unlikely to end soon, so it’s important to give people some certainty about their options.
