Plane-load Of Ukrainians Land In Montreal, Canada by chopnaira: 5:19pm On Jun 02, 2022
Canada immigration news: A plane-load of 306 Ukrainian refugees arrived at the Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport.

“An emotional arrival of the first chartered flight to arrive in Montreal with 306 Ukrainian refugees,” tweeted Quebec Immigration Minister Jean Boulet. “Quebec is both proud and happy to welcome them.

“We are offering them many services to help them integrate into Quebec society.”

"Canada is unwavering in our support for Ukraine and its people,” said Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly in a statement. “Welcoming these families in Montreal is a reminder of the human impact of Putin’s war and of Canada’s continued promise to offer a temporary safe haven to those in need.”

Immigration Minister Sean Fraser has pledged Canada will accept an unlimited number of Ukrainian refugees who are fleeing their war-torn homeland in the wake of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s declaration of war on Ukraine in February, forcing millions to flee for their lives.

The emergency program to help Ukrainians flee their war-torn homeland was launched on March 17 and provides Ukrainians and their immediate family members with temporary residency in Canada for up to three years. Under CUAET, these refugees are eligible for free open work permits and study permits and so can take a job with almost any Canadian employer or enrol in any education program in Canada.

They are eligible for a one-time payout under the Canada-Ukraine Transitional Assistance Initiative (CUTAI) of $3,000 per adult and $1,500 per child as well as settlement services, including language training, information about life in Canada, and help in finding jobs. A good amount already had jobs waiting for them on arrival.

Perhaps, they were at the airport to welcome the refugees. Remember that JW themselves have been banned in Russia as well. I assume some Russian JW would be among those crowd at the airport to welcome those fleeing persecution and war.
