flag Saskatchewan’s 2026 immigration rule blocks most Ukrainian newcomers from applying for provincial nomination due to long-term work permits, creating residency uncertainty.

flag Saskatchewan's 2026 changes to its Immigrant Nominee Program now require applicants to have work permits expiring within six months, excluding most Ukrainian newcomers under the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) program, who hold long-term, renewable permits. flag This has blocked hundreds, including workers like Vlad Chonka and the Dumenko brothers, from applying for provincial nomination, creating uncertainty about their permanent residency. flag While the province says the rule aims to prioritize workers with expiring permits due to reduced federal nominations, critics argue it unfairly excludes Ukrainians who have complied with immigration rules and contributed to communities. flag Advocates and opposition leaders are urging the government to create a separate pathway for Ukrainians, similar to Manitoba’s 2025 approach.
