Among the additional measures for people fleeing the war in Ukraine: income support of $ 500 per week can be provided for six weeks for those who need it, said Immigration Minister Sean Fraser.
Temporary hotel rooms may also be offered for a period of two weeks.
These measures will apply to Ukrainians who arrive in the country on the Canada-Ukraine Emergency Travel Authorization (AVUCU).
AVUCU allows Ukrainians to stay in Canada for three years and obtain a temporary work permit or a study permit.
