Ukrainians push for permanent residency in Canada as war with Russia grinds on
Nearly 300,000 Ukrainians on emergency visas face barriers to permanent residency as advocates push for a dedicated pathway amid ongoing war displacement.
- On Feb. 10, 2026, advocates pressed Canada to create a permanent residency pathway for nearly 300,000 CUAET visa holders, with a petition nearing 45,000 signatures.
- Amid the war that began in 2022, many Ukrainian arrivals who remain in Canada are effectively settling long-term, Moussa said, citing the need for a permanent residency pathway.
- Language and paperwork barriers mean many CUAET holders cannot complete permanent residency applications, while Canada's express-entry system and the Provincial Nominee Program leave older workers and employers unable to secure nominations.
- Advocates have mobilized, noting the United Ukrainians for Canada Foundation sent over 25,000 letters since September, highlighting the policy impact pressure.
- Canada's immigration levels plan limits permanent resident targets, while immigration minister Lena Diab has urged provinces to consider Ukrainians for nominations, despite no concrete solution yet.
