Non-citizens of Ukraine don’t qualify for temporary refuge from war in Canada
… The Canadian government is allowing Ukrainians who have fled Russian aggression to come to Canada temporarily for a period of two years “for those who need a safe haven while the war ravages their homeland,” Immigration Minister Sean Fraser announced last week.
It’s the kind of program Tajik said she hopes to see from Canada and other countries in response to the crisis in Ukraine.
“I just need legal status, I just need a pass so that I could get somewhere stable,” said the now 23-year-old data scientist in an interview.
But Canada’s program would not apply to her. The immigration minister’s office says for now, the program is only available to Ukraine citizens.
I am all for allowing refugees from the Ukraine to come to Canada. Everyone knows that the stated 2 year stay limit will not be enforced anyway.
But as always the real goal is to open the floodgates to all comers like our political and corporate class wants.
