Ukrainians looking for a free trade flight to Canada, subsidized by donations from Aeroplan points, will be able to register online from Friday, but may need to be quick, as the process will initially be open only for the distribution of 500 plane tickets.
Ukrainians looking for a free trade flight to Canada, subsidized by donations from Aeroplan points, will be able to register online from Friday, but may need to be quick, as only 500 plane tickets will initially be available.
Details of this first round of registration appear on the website of Miles4Migrants, the US non-profit organization that provides logistics for a partnership announced by the Trudeau government in April.
The program, which also includes Air Canada and Canadian charities such as the Shapiro Foundation, aims to provide free air travel to 10,000 people fleeing the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
However, only a small part of the target will be eligible when registrations open on Friday.
Miles4Migrants says that only Ukrainian citizens who have a residence permit in Canada, such as those under an emergency program set up by the federal government, are eligible.
According to the latest figures released by the government, 127,153 applications have been approved. The program provides a temporary three-year stay in Canada for Ukrainians and their relatives.
