Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) was a special measure that allowed Ukrainians and their family members to come to Canada with a visitor visa and apply for an open work permit or study permit. Program details and eligibility have been updated over time; check IRCC for current status.

Can I still apply under CUAET?

Eligibility and intake have changed. IRCC may have closed new CUAET applications or extended deadlines. Check IRCC's Ukraine measures page for the latest. We can advise on current options for Ukrainian nationals.

Can I extend my CUAET status?

If you are in Canada on CUAET-related status (e.g. open work permit), you may be able to extend or apply for other permits before your status expires. We help with extension and transition to other immigration pathways.

Is there a pathway to PR for Ukrainians?

IRCC has offered temporary measures; some Ukrainians may qualify for Express Entry, PNP, or other streams based on their work experience and qualifications. We assess eligibility and helps with PR applications.
