The Canadian government is taking further action against Russia and increasing support to Ukraine with more lethal aid as well as opening new immigration streams.
Two immigration systems have been introduced, one to allow an unlimited amount of Ukrainians to enter Canada on a temporary basis and another, the new family reunification pathway for those looking to remain in Canada.
Defence Minister Anita Anand also announced the Canadian Armed Forces would be sending up to 35000 rocket launchers and 7500 hand grenades to support Ukraine.
