Btw, if you were hoping for OINP invite from the French draw, I think you need to put French as your first language, not sure if your score will be 500+ with CLB7 as first language and CLB9 as second.

We are already in WW III. What Germany and Japan did back then are what Russia and China are doing now. Sadly, the US is so weak now.
Canada announces support to address the situation in Ukraine
Canada and Ukraine are steadfast partners and close friends. Alongside its international partners and allies, and in solidarity with the government and people of Ukraine, Canada unequivocally condemns Russia’s decision to recognize the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in Ukraine. Russia’s action constitutes a brazen violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence, and demonstrates a blatant disregard for international law.
The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today announced that Canada will be imposing new sanctions under the Special Economic Measures (Russia) Regulations and the Special Economic Measures (Ukraine) Regulations. These new measures will:
There is still time for Russia to choose de-escalation and diplomacy, but the window to do so is closing. These measures will apply further pressure on Russian leadership and extend greater support to our allies and partners. Canada will continue working with our allies and partners to impose additional hard-hitting economic measures that will inflict severe costs on Russia if it does not cease its unacceptable aggression against Ukraine. These actions demonstrate Canada’s steadfast support for Ukraine’s sovereignty. The people of Ukraine have the right to decide their own future and live free and without fear.

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today announced that Canada will be imposing new sanctions under the Special Economic Measures (Russia) Regulations and the Special Economic Measures (Ukraine) Regulations. These new measures will:
- Impose restrictions on members of the Russian State Duma who voted for the decision to recognize the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk;
- Impose a dealings ban on the non-government controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk, which will effectively prohibit Canadians from engaging in specific transactions and activities in these regions;
- Place new prohibitions on direct and indirect dealings in Russian sovereign debt; and
- Impose sanctions on two significant Russian financial institutions in order to hinder Russia’s ability to further fund its aggressive actions.
- Up to an additional 460 personnel to the approximately 800 currently deployed in Europe in support of NATO, including:
- A battery of M777 artillery guns with forward observers and an electronic warfare troop to bolster the Canadian led enhanced Forward Presence Battle Group in Latvia;
- A second frigate, with an embarked maritime helicopter, to participate in NATO’s Standing Naval Forces; and
- The re-tasking of a CP-140 Aurora long range patrol aircraft already in the region, which will now operate in the Euro-Atlantic Area under NATO command and control.

Quick Facts
- In response to Russia’s threats and military build-up in and around Ukraine in recent weeks, the Government of Canada invested in additional support for Ukraine. This includes through the extension and expansion of Operation UNIFIER, the Canadian Armed Forces’ military training and capacity-building mission in Ukraine, up to $620 million in loans, and the provision of up to $10 million in lethal and non-lethal equipment and ammunition.
- Since Russia’s attempted annexation and illegal occupation of Crimea in 2014, Canada has sanctioned more than 440 individuals and entities, with many of these sanctions undertaken in coordination with our allies and partners. Canada’s sanctions impose asset freezes and dealings prohibitions on listed persons.
- As part of NATO’s enhanced Forward Presence, Canada has assumed a leadership role as one of four Framework Nations and is leading a robust multinational NATO enhanced Forward Presence battle group in Latvia. Canada’s contribution of up to 540 personnel, vehicles and equipment includes a headquarters element, a mechanized infantry company, and combat service support based at Camp Ādaži in Latvia.
- Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has implemented measures to quickly issue travel documents to help Canadian citizens, Canadian permanent residents, and their immediate family members in Ukraine get to Canada as quickly as possible should they wish to do so. IRCC is also increasing operational capacity in the region and has enacted priority-processing of applications for proof of citizenship, permanent residence, and temporary residence, including study and work permits, for Ukrainian nationals who want to study, work, reunite with family, or start a new life in Canada.

That's the point. Who are they going to fight.
US ain't so hot on war right now. Plus Russia has nuclear warheads with a dictator leading it. No one is fighting these guys.
Not to mention, China has the whole of Europe and US by the balls already.
Australia is doing the same. Priority processes Ukrainian visa and PR apps. This is the right thing to do. We will see if any kind of refugees stream is opening or not. Hungary, Romania, Poland and Czech Republic all are ready to welcome 500K refugees each! People go to neighboring countries first as airports have been bombed already.
Putin is already on it. Things will get uglier from now. This is a great chance for China do invade Taiwan.

Basic human decency to help those in need. These applications are already in the queue, not new ones.
No, there is no need to put French as primary language.
All you need to be considered for the draw is a minimum CLB 7 in French and a minimum CLB 6 in English. Thats it.
Teied calling ircc and keep getting told client support centre is open bla bla but i can not get through. Anyone else getting this problem
This is just wishful thinking. They are going to create a special stream for Ukranians before the month ends. Europe should accept all of them

They have barely processed the 40k Afghan refugees applications.
And now probably another 40k Ukranian refugees.
Not that I am mad. But these guys make promises they can't keep.
True...but the difference is...Yt tears
Now it makes perfect sense why PPRs have been barely crawling these past two weeks. The 147k Sean promised would be processed before end of Q1 bet they were set aside for the special people of Youcryin'
