On February 24, 2022, the Government of Canada introduced new measures for individuals affected by the situation in Ukraine. As of now, Canada will prioritize applications of immediate family members of Ukrainian-Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Their applications will urgently be processed so they can travel to Canada at any time. The Government also extended the temporary public policy that allows some visitors in Canada, including Ukrainians, to apply for a work permit and stay in Canada while their work permit application is processed.
