Canada ends visa program for Ukrainian refugees fleeing war

Canada is expected to close applications for temporary emergency visas offered to Ukrainians fleeing Russian aggression on Saturday but hasn’t announced when it plans to offer long-term refuge.

The federal government launched the emergency visa program as millions fled Ukraine last year, following the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of the country.
The visa is available to an unlimited number of Ukrainians and allows them to work and study in Canada for three years while they figure out their next steps.

The CEO of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress talks to Global News about the decision to end the program and what happens next.
