Canada extended temporary residence access for Ukrainian family reunification applicants

The Government of Canada has announced new measures to support Ukrainian nationals who applied through the family reunification pathway to permanent residence. Effective immediately, eligible applicants and their family members can extend their stay in Canada until March 31, 2027, while awaiting decisions on their applications. This extension allows them to apply for new or extended work permits, study permits, or temporary resident status from within Canada—even without receiving acknowledgement of their permanent residence application. The initiative reinforces Canada's ongoing commitment to assisting Ukrainian families affected by the ongoing conflict as they rebuild their lives together.
