Canada will begin the visa liberalization process for Ukrainians
Canada will soon begin the process of introducing electronic visas for Ukrainian citizens planning to travel to the country.
“Both countries will launch a partnership on migration and mobility to support Ukraine’s recovery. In particular, the process of adding Ukraine to the list of countries eligible for electronic travel authorization will begin,” the document states.
The statement also mentions the intention to strengthen people-to-people ties by “cooperating on education, youth exchanges, culture, sports, health care, and the preservation of Ukraine’s cultural heritage.”
It should be noted that currently, EU citizens and citizens of several other developed countries can obtain an electronic travel authorization to enter Canada. The application is completed online, costs $7, and takes just a few minutes. Holders of this authorization are entitled to visit Canada for tourism purposes for a period of five years.
This is stated in a joint statement by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
