Additional measures for people fleeing the war in Ukraine include: income support of $ 500 per week could be provided for six weeks for those who need it, said Immigration Minister Sean Fraser.

AVUCU allows Ukrainians to stay in Canada for three years and obtain a temporary work permit or study permit.
