Other Work Permits

In response to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, the Government of Canada has implemented special immigration measures to assist Ukrainian nationals and their family members seeking temporary or permanent residence in Canada. One of the key programs under these measures is the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET), which allows eligible individuals to obtain an Open Work Permit (OWP) to work for any employer in Canada.

At Kahlon Law Office, we provide dedicated legal assistance to Ukrainians navigating the immigration process under these special provisions.

What is the Open Work Permit for Ukrainians?

An Open Work Permit allows Ukrainian nationals and their eligible family members to work for any employer in Canada without requiring a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). This permit offers flexibility and immediate access to employment opportunities across various industries.

Who Can Apply?

You may be eligible for an Open Work Permit under CUAET if you:

  • Are a Ukrainian national or an immediate family member of a Ukrainian citizen.
  • Have received a temporary resident visa under CUAET.
  • Are in Canada or applying from abroad.
  • Meet all admissibility requirements, including medical and security screenings.

What are the key benefits of the open work permit for Ukrainians?

  • No LMIA Required: Applicants do not need a job offer or employer sponsorship.
  • Multiple Entry Visa: The CUAET visa allows travel in and out of Canada.
  • Permit Validity: Work permits may be issued for up to 3 years, providing long-term stability.
  • Access to Settlement Services: Permit holders may benefit from job search assistance, language training, and other integration services.
  • Pathway to Permanent Residence: Work experience gained in Canada may contribute towards eligibility for permanent residence under various immigration programs.

What is the application process?

  • Submit an Application: Apply online through the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) portal.
  • Provide Required Documents: This may include proof of Ukrainian nationality, visa approval under CUAET, and any additional supporting documents.
  • Biometrics & Medical Exams: Depending on your circumstances, you may need to provide biometrics and undergo a medical exam.
  • Processing & Approval: Once approved, you will receive a work permit that allows you to start working in Canada.
