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?
Not the right color.
That’s what I was thinking too. They’re not the right colour and aren’t big fans of socialism/communism. So not Liberal voters.
hey Retro! The waldo is shocked that this was/is your underlying thought; shocked you weren't up front in stating it! Shocked I tells ya!
again, by design the CUAET is a temporary residence pathway; it is not intended as a refugee stream. Again, given the significantly high number of Canadians of Ukrainian heritage, the government is anticipating a large application response to it's targeted special Ukrainian family reunification sponsorship pathway... the waldo's crack research team hasn't found any qualifications/caveats within this targeted pathway aligned with, as you 2 numbskulls blather on about, colour!
notwithstanding the government is already engaged in resettling 40,000 Afghan refugees over the coming years, 'Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada' (IRCC) previously announced the following immigrant target plan (by increased number/class) intended to guide its operations:
but again, 'early days' in a most fluid/dynamic concern. By the by, the CUAET somewhat parallels the
European Union Commissions activation of its, 'Temporary Protection Directive'... you're welcome!
