On April 22, 2022, the Government of Canada introduced new instructions for Ukrainian nationals on how to get their visas after getting approved for Canada-Ukraine authorization for emergency travel (CUAET). In general, all applicants have to send their passports to get a physical visitor visa (a counterfoil), however, as part of the special measures for Ukraine, Ukrainian nationals qualify for a foil-less visa and can travel to Canada with the decision letter, without getting a physical visa. Nevertheless, applicants travelling to Canada with a foil-less visa can fly to Canada only from certain countries: Austria, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia. Those whose flight is not departing from the countries listed above must get a physical counterfoil before travel.
