Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET)

We Speak Your Language

Our licensed Canadian immigration consultant speaks Ukrainian and Russian fluently. We understand the unique challenges facing Ukrainian nationals and can guide you through the entire process in your native language — from the initial consultation to document preparation and application submission.

What Is CUAET?

The Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) is a special immigration pathway created by the Government of Canada to help Ukrainian nationals and their family members affected by the ongoing conflict. The program provides temporary residence in Canada with open work permits, giving Ukrainians the ability to live, work, and study in Canada while they are displaced from their homeland.

Key Features of the CUAET Program

Temporary residence — Allows Ukrainian nationals to come to Canada as temporary residents for up to three years.
Open work permits — CUAET holders receive open work permits, meaning you can work for any employer in Canada without needing a job offer in advance.
No application fees — The Government of Canada has waived most application fees associated with CUAET applications.
Family members included — Spouses, common-law partners, and dependent children of Ukrainian nationals may also be eligible.
Pathway to permanent residence — Once in Canada, CUAET holders may explore permanent immigration pathways such as Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs, or Canadian Experience Class.

Who Is Eligible?

To be eligible for CUAET, applicants must be Ukrainian nationals or family members of Ukrainian nationals. You must also hold a valid Ukrainian passport or be able to demonstrate Ukrainian nationality. The program is intended for individuals who have been displaced as a result of the conflict and are seeking safety and stability in Canada.

How to Apply

Applying for CUAET involves several steps, including gathering documents, completing application forms, providing biometrics, and potentially attending an interview. Our consultant will help you navigate every stage of the process, ensuring your application is accurate and complete.

Settling in Canada

Beyond the initial application, we can assist with practical matters once you arrive in Canada. This includes guidance on finding employment, understanding the healthcare system, enrolling children in school, and eventually transitioning to permanent residence. Canada offers a wide range of settlement services for newcomers, and as a CUAET holder you will have access to many of these supports.

Transitioning to Permanent Residence

Many Ukrainian nationals who arrive in Canada through CUAET wish to build a permanent life here. After gaining Canadian work experience, you may qualify for programs such as Express Entry or a Provincial Nominee Program. Our consultant can advise you on the best pathway based on your qualifications, work experience, and language abilities.
