07 April 2026 Canada to extend certain work permit policies for Ukrainian nationals The Canada Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) was introduced in March 2022 as a temporary humanitarian measure to allow Ukrainian nationals and their family members displaced by the conflict in Ukraine to reside and work in Canada on a temporary basis. As the conflict in the Ukraine remains ongoing, on 31 March 2026, the Honourable Lena Diab, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, announced a further extension to work permit measures under CUAET and related public policies. Eligible individuals in Canada now have until 31 March 2027 to apply to extend their work authorization, with approved extensions permitting up to three additional years of work authorization, subject to eligibility and status requirements.
