PAOV — Many Ukrainians fleeing the violence in their country are coming to Canada under the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel. This agreement categorises them as temporary residents instead of refugees. In some provinces, this means they have no access to provincially-funded healthcare. This petition is demanding Ukrainian immigrants be eligible for provincially-funded healthcare as soon as they arrive in Canada. If you agree, sign the petition now.

18,825 have signed Maryna Yashchenko’s petition. Let’s get to 25,000!

Dear Mr. Ford, Premier of Ontario!

Our Ukrainian community is grateful for the opportunity presented to Ukrainians who are fleeing the war and can come to Canada under the CUAET Program. However, the families that will be arriving in Ontario from a war-torn country will not have access to medical services. We are urging you to follow the example of the province of Quebec and allow access to OHIP for Ukrainians arriving under the CUAET Program. Canada and other NATO countries refuse to close the sky over Ukraine, letting bombs fall on the houses of thousands of civilians. Due to political reasons the world cannot protect Ukrainians and their homeland. You have the chance to protect those who arrive here and give them access to the most basic human need - medical care! Please, stand with Ukraine! Help Ukrainians fleeing the unjust brutal war get access to medical services in Ontario! Thank you!

We’d love to hear from you! Contact us through our help centre.
