Justin Trudeau's visit to Kiev and other Canadian news

Aid to Ukraine

On Sunday, the Canadian prime minister visited Ukraine and was accompanied by the deputy prime minister and foreign minister. They met with Ukrainian President Zelensky. During the visit, the Canadian embassy in Kiev was opened. The prime minister personally hoisted the flag.

Ukrainians have waited for free flights to Canada. The two provinces of Atlantic Canada announced that they would transport Ukrainians on May 9 from Warsaw. It later turned out that one flight was postponed. Those who want to fly to Canada for free are offered to fill out an application form and attach photos of documents, but they do not guarantee seats.

The province of Newfoundland and Labrador has not cancelled the flight and is ready to receive 175 Ukrainians on May 9. Local NGOs have already prepared lodging, basic necessities, and contacts of employers for them. Representatives of the province went to Poland a month ago and selected those they were ready to help themselves.

The Canadian Minister of Transport announced on May 5 that the government is not backing down on its promise of free flights. But the flights promised by the prime minister are still difficult to arrange. Many Ukrainians who applied have moved to other cities and countries, so it is difficult to decide where to send the planes.

Canada's Minister of Immigration announced that a information center for Ukrainians will soon open in Warsaw, and a temporary visa center in Berlin, where biometric data can be submitted. The Berlin center is expected to serve 1,000 people a day. Immigration Canada received 204,227 applications from Ukrainians, of which 9,482 were approved.
