The federal government is allowing more Ukrainians fleeing the war to enter Canada this year while making it easier for some of those who have already arrived to stay longer, including some whose status was set to expire next year.
The government announced new measures last week following months of uncertainty about whether it would extend the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel program (CUAET), which has allowed about 300,000 Ukrainians and their family members to enter the country in the past two years with a deadline of March 31 for successful applicants.
