A new pathway to Canada permanent residence for families of victims of the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 and Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 plane crashes has been announced.
A new public policy, announced May 13, 2021, allows in-Canada family members of citizens, permanent residents and those found eligible for permanent residence who were victims of one of the two crashes to apply for permanent status.
Applicants are still eligible if they lost their status in Canada. All other standard fees and biometric requirements and standard admissibility requirements apply.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) says it is working on further measures to help family members who are outside Canada.
Meanwhile the temporary residence policy put in place specifically for victims of the Ukraine crash has been extended. This will allow those that qualify for the new permanent residence stream to extend their status while their application is processed.
Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino said the new pathway was designed to help grieving families.
“This new pathway to permanent residence is one of the ways we are helping families of Canadian victims cope, in the hope that they may build their lives in Canada,” he said.
