Good day,

Thank you for contacting the Immigration Representatives Mailbox.

Please note that this mailbox is intended for general guidance and does not provide responses to case-specific

inquiries but have provided the following information as guidance. Ifyou have case specific questions about a file, you

are encouraged to submit the [RCC Web form.

Please see our response to your question.

Please note that special measures are in place for Ukrainians and their family members who arrived in Canada under the

Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) measures on or before March 31, 2024, to provide continued

access to apply from within Canada for a study permit or open work permit, or to renew an existing work permit. These

measures originally took effect on August 13, 2024, and have been extended until March 31, 2026.

Ukrainian nationals and their family members who were granted temporary resident status following facilitation under the

CUAET measures, arrived in Canada on or before March 31, 2024, and hold valid temporary resident status are eligible for

facilitated access to a new study permit, a new open work permit or a work permit renewal

To answer your question, if the non-Ukrainian spouse or common-law partner was issued temporary resident status under

the CUAET measures and arrived in Canada on or before March 31, 2024, they are eligible to apply under these extended

measures.

Eligible clients may apply to renew their open work permit even if their status does not expire within the next year, as long

as they apply by March 31, 2026. The validity period of the renewed open work permit is subject to the client’s passport and

biometrics validity, as well as the discretion of the processing officer, but could be for up to three years from the date of

decision. These applications are subject to standard fees.

For details on how to apply, please see: Immigration measures and support for Ukrainians and their families
