Continued Support for Ukrainians in Canada
The Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) is advocating for ongoing support and permanent residency for Ukrainians who have sought temporary refuge in Canada due to the conflict instigated by Russia.
Key Highlights from the Meeting
On March 25, 2026, UCC President Alexandra Chyczij addressed the Parliamentary Committee on Citizenship and Immigration. She emphasized the following points:
- Strong Canadian Support: Canadians have demonstrated remarkable backing for Ukrainians since the onset of the full-scale invasion.
- Need for Permanent Residency: With over 300,000 Ukrainians currently in Canada, temporary measures no longer meet the requirements of their situation, necessitating a clear pathway to permanent status.
Importance of This Advocacy
This initiative is essential for:
- Stability and Safety: Ensuring a secure environment for thousands of families.
- Dignified Future: Providing the opportunity for Ukrainians to create a better life.
Ukrainians have integrated into Canadian society, contributing to the economy and enriching their communities through their involvement in various sectors.
We deeply appreciate the strong and consistent advocacy for Ukrainians!
