***EFFECTIVE AS OF NOVEMBER 21, 2022***

We provide airfare sponsorship to individuals and their families that meet several acceptance criteria and who, after a video interview, demonstrate a serious approach in their relocation process and job search in Canada.​ We also provide free criminal background checks for your host family to increase your safety.

As of now (winter season), we only offer direct tickets from Paris to Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver.

You may have to take a bus or a train from your location of departure or to your final destination.

In rare exceptions, we can consider providing tickets from or to a different location. 

 

Selection criteria :

  • Having a glued CUAET Visa (ie. a physical, non-electronic, counterfoil visa)

    • If you currently have a foil-less visa, please apply for a glued counterfoil visa 

  • A fully completed Airfare form (see form below)

  • Lodging situation: We require Ukrainians we sponsor to make housing arrangements in preparation of their arrival in Canada : 

    • Having found a host that offers lodging and food for at least 90 days, who accepts to undergo a national criminal background check and an interview by us, and who has a clear background check.

    • OR​

    • Having found a rent-free or subsidized housing arrangement for at least 90 days (proof required)

  • Having been relocated from Ukraine and having been in Ukraine at the start of the war

 

***PETS: We have a limited number of flights that can take on pets. If you choose to travel with your pets, you might have to wait much longer for an available flight. You will also have to pay for any pet travel fee yourself.

 

***EXTRA LUGGAGE: Please note that we will do our best to help with extra luggage (i.e., more than accepted by airline), but we cannot guarantee the help. As with pets, please expect to pay for extra luggage if you get our airfare sponsorship for you and your family. 

 

Please note the following timelines:

  • Once you complete the form, we usually reply within 3 days to let you know if you have been shortlisted for an interview. If you have, we send you times to choose from for your interview, and a Google Meets link to use for your interview

  • If you get approved for a flight, you can expect to fly to Canada within 7 to 10 days. We sponsor tickets for up to 2 weeks in advance. If you need tickets later, please apply later.

 

Any disrespectful behaviour or attempt to pressure volunteers into granting you financial assistance

will result in dismissal of your application.

You are applying for this program fully aware that receiving help is not guaranteed.
