Ukrainian family pathway: track temporary status separately

The January notice concerns eligible existing family-reunification applicants and their families.

Official announcement: · Source reviewed: 2026-11-04

Read the targeted measure

IRCC announced access to specified temporary-residence applications for eligible Ukrainians in Canada who applied under the family-reunification pathway and their families. The notice sets March 31, 2027 as the application deadline and says standard fees apply. Read all linked conditions.

Keep two timelines

Maintain separate records for the permanent-residence application and current temporary documents. Record actual expiry dates and any requested follow-up privately. A pending application or a reminder in a personal tracker should not be treated as confirmation of a document extension.
