Canada launches Aeroplan fund to bring Ukrainians to the country
Immigration Minister Sean Fraser says the goal is to pay for flights to bring at least 10,000 Ukrainians and their families approved for travel to Canada.
These would be on top of targeted chartered flights to bring Ukrainians to Canada announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier this year. More than 54,000 Ukrainians have already been approved to come to Canada for three years while they decide on their next steps. Donations will be accepted as of today, but details about how eligible Ukrainians can access the money won't be available for a few weeks.
The new fund is part of a partnership between the Miles4Migrants charity, The Shapiro Foundation and Air Canada.
