Ukrainians looking for a free commercial flight to Canada subsidized by Aeroplan point donations will be able to register online starting Friday, but may need to be fast, as initially only 500 plane tickets will 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 Trudeau government in April.
The program, which also includes 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 fraction of the target will be eligible when registrations open on Friday.
Miles4Migrants says only Ukrainian nationals with a residence permit in Canada are eligible, such as those under an emergency program established by the federal government.
According to the latest government data, 127,153 applications have been approved. The program offers three-year temporary residence in Canada to Ukrainians and their immediate family members.
