the CUAET (Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel) is intended as a temporary measure/program; one more particularly aligned to provide Ukrainians a 'safe haven' in the face of Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine... also in consideration of Ukrainians who might wish to eventually return to their country. Certainly at the end of 3 years the option to extend is available.
more pointedly, as Canada has the 3rd largest Ukrainian diaspora in the world with some 1.4 million people, the federal government will shortly announce a special family reunification sponsorship pathway. This targeted program will allow Ukrainian nationals to reunite with their immediate and extended family members who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents and settle in Canada permanently.
That doesn’t answer the question. Why only 3 years and why just temporary? Why are Syrian refugees given permanent residence in Canada? Why is it not also temporary? Why do Ukrainian refugees need family members in Canada to stay permanently under family reunification when Syrian refugees don’t?
