How to get a Canadian visa?

Until the end of 2023, the CUAET visa program for Ukrainians operated in Canada, but it was canceled. This program provided an opportunity to leave for Canada, receiving significant social benefits and a work permit. However, with the cancellation of the program, the demand to go to this country and try to build a life there did not disappear. Moreover, a significant number of people are looking for salvation from the war and a more peaceful life, if today they live in cities that are under regular shelling. If you are also thinking about how to go to Canada for residence or temporary stay as a tourist, you should take care in advance to choose the right type of visa and submit the necessary package of documents.

Our team of lawyers will help with the issue of various types of visas to Canada. Law office "Prikhodko & Partners" specializes in, among other things, migration law. We work in this field of jurisprudence both in Ukraine and at the international level, providing legal support for requests relevant to clients.

Has the CUAET visa become invalid?

Some Ukrainians who have already received a CUAET visa are wondering whether it is currently invalid. No, the visa has not expired, so you are eligible to travel to Canada. However, what has changed is that today it no longer provides any social benefits. This means that the CUAET visa is now valid as a normal tourist visa.

What visa opportunities are most in demand now?

When the aforementioned program closed, the family reunification visa began to be in great demand. It is she who is chosen by Ukrainians in 2024 more often than not. This opportunity allows you to get a visa for traveling to Canada to those relatives who live there. If you have a second spouse or close relatives in Canada, we will analyze your situation during the consultation for the perspective of obtaining such a visa.

Who is suitable for a tourist visa?

If you do not need to live in Canada year-round, a tourist visa may be suitable for you. It allows you to stay in this country for 6 months a year. When it comes to a tourist visa, the applicant is checked for a wide range of documents that confirm his financial situation. These can be documents regarding existing property, statements from bank accounts, a certificate of income from the place of work. The fact is that the authorized persons who affix such a visa to the foreign passport of a Ukrainian pre-evaluate the risks as to whether he really goes to the country as a tourist and whether he decides to stay there illegally.

An invitation from either a Canadian citizen or a foreigner who lives there on legal grounds will be a great advantage for obtaining a visa.

What should you know about a work visa?

If you are going to Canada to work, you will need a fairly large package of documents from your employer, as it will serve as confirmation of the purpose of your visit. We touch on this in detail during consultations.
