In continuation of our efforts to support those fleeing the war in Ukraine, Canada is expanding the federal settlement program to offer key services such as language training, orientation, employment assistance and other supports for Ukrainians as they settle into their new communities.
To deliver services directly to temporary residents arriving through the new CUAET (Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel) stream, federally funded settlement service providers will be providing settlement services for a 12 month period until March 31, 2023 to Ukrainian nationals and their immediate family once they arrive in Canada.
Beginning early April, Canada will also be launching support services at key airports, in partnership with the Canadian Red Cross, to provide Ukrainians with assistance and important arrival information, including in their language. All those fleeing the war, including Ukrainians who are currently in Canada and cannot go home, are eligible for free open work permits for up to 3 years.
Key services that will be available to Ukrainians as they settle into their new communities include:
We’ll continue to support Ukrainians, before and after they arrive in Canada.
