Canada has extended certain temporary work permit measures for Ukrainians in response to Russia’s ongoing war. Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab said Ukrainians who arrived under the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) and related measures will get an additional year to apply to extend their work permit.

Eligibility includes Ukrainians and family members who arrived in Canada on or before March 31, 2024, as well as some CUAET holders permitted to arrive by December 31, 2024.

The work permits issued under CUAET and related measures now have until March 31, 2027, to apply for an extension of up to three years. Those wishing to extend their visitor status or study permit can do so through the standard IRCC application process.
