Ukrainians looking for a free commercial flight to Canada with a subsidized Aeroplan point donation will be able to register online from Friday, but they may need to be quick as only 500 airline tickets will initially be available. Details of this first round of registration appear on the website of Miles4Migrants, the US nonprofit that provides logistics for a partnership announced by the Trinto government in April. The program, which also involves Air Canada and Canadian charities such as the Shapiro Foundation, aims to provide free air travel to 10,000 people who have fled the Russian invasion of Ukraine. However, only a small portion of the target will be eligible when registrations open on Friday. Miles4Migrants says only Ukrainian nationals with a residence permit for Canada, such as those under an emergency program set up by the federal government, are eligible. According to the latest figures released by the government, 127,153 applications have been approved. The program provides temporary residence in Canada for three years to Ukrainians and their immediate family members. Do you have an opinion?
