Ukrainian crisis: Canada opens to unlimited number of Ukrainian immigrants

 Canada is introducing new immigration streams for Ukrainian immigrants amid the Russia-Ukraine war. Ukrainians who want to move to Canada permanently or temporarily can obtain a Canada-Ukraine Authorisation for Emergency Travel. 

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Friday that the program will eliminate several usual visa requirements. He also condemned Russia's attack on Ukraine. 

Some 1.4 million Ukrainians already live in Canada. The Canadian authorities are looking to do their part to assist as many Ukrainians as possible. Canada has the third-largest Ukrainian diaspora in the world.

There will be no limit on the number of Ukrainians who wish to apply to obtain a Canada-Ukraine Authorisation for Emergency Travel. The federal government rolled out new measures to help Ukraine and punish Russia. 

Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) aim to open for application in two weeks. It also aims to open a special expedited family sponsorship program for permanent residents.

Reportedly, Ukrainians who come to Canada under these special measures will be able to apply for open work permits. They can work anywhere in Canada. More information about these special measures will be available in the coming days. 

Canada will allow unvaccinated Ukrainians to enter the country if they have a temporary resident visa. The Canadian authorities will also process travel documents for Canadians who wish to return from Ukraine. 

Reportedly, Ukrainian nationals in Canada can apply to extend their status as visitors, students, or workers. IRCC will issue open work permits to Ukrainian visitors, workers, and students. 

The United States also offered tens of thousands of Ukrainians living in the U.S. temporary humanitarian protection from deportation because of the Russia-Ukraine war. The Ukrainians will remain in the US under a form of humanitarian relief, which is known as Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Reportedly, Some 30,000 Ukrainians on visas could benefit from this protected status.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel will “take control of all” of the Gaza Strip, signaling an unprecedented escalation in the ongoing conflict. In a video posted to Telegram, Netanyahu emphasized that military operations are advancing rapidly, with no intention of backing down. “The fighting is intense, and we are making progress,” he said, framing the offensive as necessary for Israel’s long-term security. But as international pressure mounts, his government is walking a tightrope between military dominance and global condemnation. The Israeli military has ordered mass evacuations in southern Gaza, warning residents of Khan Yunis and surrounding areas to flee immediately ahead of a devastating assault. Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee described the coming attack as ...
