Canada's immigration minister says he'll soon announce a long-awaited program to grant permanent residency to Ukrainians with familial ties to Canada.
But Sean Fraser says a similar program for other Ukrainians is still a ways away.
So far, 230-thousand Ukrainians have taken Canada up on an offer of temporary refuge as Russia's invasion of their home country rages on.
Stakeholders and experts say the federal government will need to consult carefully with the Ukrainian government before offering more-permanent status to those who have fled to Canada.
