e-3945 (Foreign affairs)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
- Canada claims to have a welcoming culture and immigration policy while being host to the third largest Ukrainian population in the world;
- Ukrainians wishing to enter Canada as they flee the brutal war in Ukraine are required to apply for a Temporary Resident Visa, which involves completing a very onerous and unnecessarily detailed application form; and
- Canadian citizens and permanent residents wishing to sponsor their Ukrainian parents fleeing the war are not able to do so, because only spouses and dependent children currently qualify under the family reunification scheme.
