TL;DR

  • 298,000 Ukrainian refugees have arrived in Canada under the CUAET (Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel) programme. However, data on how many may have already left the country isn't publicly available.
  • 80 per cent of recently arrived Ukrainians are employed. It is still difficult, however, to assess their career and whether they are working in the same industry and occupation as in Ukraine, as labour market integration takes time.
  • Around 92 per cent of those who arrived express a desire to apply for permanent residency and consequently stay in Canada permanently. Ukrainian refugees are not legally recognized as refugees or asylum seekers in Canada. Instead, they hold temporary resident status under the CUAET programme, meaning they must obtain permanent residency through economic pathway or family reunification.
  • As the war and, consequently, insecurity in Ukraine continue, Ukrainian diaspora organizations – particularly the Ukrainian World Congress – are calling for pathways to permanent residency for Ukrainian refugees.

As a side note, there are Canadian people working in Ukraine, as April Huggett, a Canadian combat medic supporting the Ukrainian Forces.
