This webinar was hosted by the BC Refugee Hub, in partnership with AMSSA’s BC Refugee Resource Network (BCRRN). Recently, Canada established a new pathway for the arrival of displaced Ukrainians and their family members called the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET). Providing a free, temporary visitor status, CUAET allows successful applicants to live, work and study in Canada until it is safe to return to Ukraine. Due to the arrival of displaced Ukrainians, Canadians have been volunteering to temporarily host newcomer Ukrainian families in their homes.

This webinar was held on December 6, 2022.

This webinar covered:

• The role of the host and the newcomer
• Best practices for being a host family
• Expectations for hosts/ landlords and newcomer Ukrainian families
• Balancing support vs boundaries
• Ethical considerations
• Positive benefits for the host and the Ukrainian family
