Canada prepared to welcome an ‘unlimited number’ of Ukrainians fleeing war, minister says
To start, Fraser said his department has created a new visa category that will allow a limitless number of Ukrainians to come to Canada to live, work or study here for up to two years.
People accepted under the Canada Ukraine Authorization For Emergency Travel program will have an open work or study permit and employers will be free to hire as many Ukrainians as they want.

“I don’t care if the Biden administration misunderstands me!” - MBS of KSA. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has not just turned the world of geopolitics upside down but has violently shook it! Old alliances are under stress, the whole economic system is being questioned, new alliances are being forged. Within the next 10 yrs, I see China and possibly Russia setting up military bases in the middle east. I also see this war as the beginning of the end of a globalized world. After 4 decades of harsh sanctions, you now have US and Europe tripping over themselves trying to woo Iran. This new courtship will leave US’ old allies in the middle east bitter and they will inevitably seek a closer relationship with China and Russia. Israel too sees the US getting closer to Iran in the hopes of building up Iran and Qatar as counter-balance against UAE-KSA-Bahrain, no wonder Israel is now working overtime trying to normalize relations with Sunni Gulf kingdoms. In the long term, the only winner out of all this will be China, the so-called rejuvenated NATO will prove to be a more assertive and independent Europe that will rapidly seek to uncouple itself from the US shenanigans.
