Ottawa, August 23, 2024—As Russia continues its illegal and unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine, Canada is continuing to adapt its response to support those who have found a temporary safe haven here.

Ukrainians and their family members who were approved under the Canada–Ukraine authorization for emergency travel, and who arrived in Canada on or before March 31, 2024, can now apply for an open work permit until March 31, 2025.

Under these extended measures, they can apply to get a new open work permit that’s valid for up to 3 years, apply to extend a current open work permit or apply for a new study permit, subject to standard fees.

In addition, all Ukrainian temporary residents and their family members in Canada can access free settlement services until March 31, 2025.
