Petition to the Government of Canada
- 125 years of subsequent waves of immigration from Ukraine has resulted in immeasurable contributions of Ukrainian-Canadians in the development of Canada, while Ukrainian culture has been woven into the multicultural fabric of Canadian society;
- The Minister of International Trade has been tasked with implementing the Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement (CUFTA) in the Ministerial Mandate Letter;
- Current Canadian temporary resident visa requirements hamper Ukrainian businesses from investing in Canada, while obstructing knowledge transfer and professional exchanges and thereby ultimately undermining the goals of CUFTA; and
- Visa-free business and tourism travel is central to stimulating economic growth and job creation.
