A sudden surge of Ukrainian evacuees. Is Canada ready?

Scroll back to the first week of March. In a single week, a record-setting 10,000 Ukrainians board airplanes heading to Canada to escape a brutal war that has no end in sight. And this surge of evacuees is expected to continue until the end of the month. After that; who knows.

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, more than two years ago, 250,000 Ukrainians relocated to Canada under our country’s emergency visa program and an additional 700,000 Ukrainians hold similar visas due to expire on March 31.
