The Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) migration program was launched by Canada after the full-scale invasion of russia, to simplify and expedite the procedures for Ukrainians who plan to travel to that country.
In order to obtain a visa, you must:
- submit an online visa application;
