Biometrics can be given at any visa application center (VAC) outside of Ukraine. VACs are open in Moldova, Romania, Austria, and Poland, and there is an extensive VAC network across Europe.

Applicants can apply for a 3-year open work permit at the same time as their visa application. This permit will allow them to work in Canada.

Elementary and high school students can register for and start attending school as soon as they arrive in Canada, and anyone looking to study at the post-secondary level can apply for a study permit once on Canadian soil.
