Canadian Refugee Board to prioritize applications of Ukrainian nationals
The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) will prioritize applications of Ukrainian refugees that have been pending as of March 1, 2022.
Refugee claims and appeals before the Refugee Protection and Appeal Divisions, as well as family sponsorship appeals, will also be prioritized. Applicants whose files do not fall under these specified divisions can contact the IRB registry for assistance.
Ukrainian nationals claiming refugee protection outside of Canada should visit the Government of Canada’s response to the crisis in Ukraine webpage.

On March 23, 2022, Institute for Canadian Citizenship (ICC) published a new national survey conducted by Leger.
According to the results of the survey, around 30% of immigrants aged 18 to 34 who recently moved to Canada plan to move to another country in the next two years.
The survey also revealed another disturbing picture: 23% of college-educated immigrants are also likely to leave the country in the next couple of years.
Survey findings also showed that many immigrants think that Canadians don’t understand the challenges that immigrants face.
