Support for Ukrainians

Alberta’s government is providing an additional $4.32 million to help Ukrainian evacuees find temporary living spaces upon arrival.  Emergency hotel rooms will be available in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat.

These accommodations are for those Ukrainian evacuees who have no other place to stay upon arrival to Alberta and who cannot access the federally funded hotel rooms due to unavailability.

Temporary accommodations will be available for up to 14 days while they secure permanent accommodations. These 14 days do not need to be used consecutively.

Ukrainian newcomers may also receive transportation from the airport to the hotel. As well, immigrant serving organizations will provide support services to newcomers upon their arrival, including information on how to access other supports and services.

Budget 2023 provides a total of $7 million over three years for continuous settlement and language supports. The new funding would build on existing English language learning opportunities and supports for successful employment and economic integration. It would also ensure funding is available to meet gaps and emerging settlement and integration needs.

Through the Alberta Settlement and Integration Program, the Government of Alberta provides financial support to settlement agencies to deliver ongoing services and to develop projects to help eligible newcomers who live and work in Alberta.

Alberta is making it easier for Ukraine evacuees to exchange their Ukraine driver’s licence for an Alberta Class 5 licence.

The Government of Alberta has established a 1-year driver’s licence exchange program for Ukrainian evacuees holding a Category B (passenger vehicles) or BE (passenger vehicles with a trailer) driver’s licence.

Like all new residents to Alberta, obtaining an Alberta Class 5 licence, holders of a Ukrainian Category B or BE driver’s licence must surrender their physical Ukrainian driver’s licence to a registry agent, along with any non-English documents translated into English. The Ukrainian driver’s licence will be authenticated by the Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction Special Investigations Unit. Ukraine evacuees will be provided with a paper driver’s licence which will allow them to drive while they await their driver’s card in the mail.

The Government of Alberta is committed to ensuring that all users of Alberta’s roads are safe, including drivers, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Exchanging licences is an additional support for the Ukraine evacuees that demonstrates Alberta’s commitment and compassion to the longstanding relationship with the people of Ukraine.

Age

To get a Class 7 driver’s licence (for example, learner for cars but can drive mopeds alone), a person must be at least 14 years old.

To get a Class 5 driver’s licence (drive cars and trucks alone), a person must be at least 16 years old.

To get an identification card, a person must be at least 12 years old.

Proof of identity

Documents that contain a photo and prove your identity include:

• non-Canadian passport
• a driver’s licence or ID card issued by an official government
• permanent residence card issued by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)

Examples of documents that are accepted for proof of legal entitlement in Canada (these documents may also contain a photo and can be used to prove your identity):

• Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) issued by IRCC
• work permit issued by IRCC
• study permit issued by IRCC
• confirmation of permanent residence issued by IRCC
• permanent residence card issued by IRCC

Example of documents that are accepted for proof of Alberta residency, which must contain an Alberta address:

• utility, gas, phone or cable bills
• bank or credit card statements
• residential lease agreement
• pay stub
• written confirmation of Alberta employment
• written confirmation from an Alberta educational institution
• statutory declaration completed in a registry agent office stating you are a resident of Alberta

No proof of identity

If you do not have ID, or your ID has been lost, stolen, or destroyed a registry agent can help you. Contact a registry agent office to determine the options available to you.

Parental or guardian consent requirement for children under the age of 18

A person under the age of 18 must have the consent of a parent or guardian when applying for a driver’s licence or ID card for the first time. A guardian is someone who is responsible for the care and well-being of the person who is under the age of 18.

Cost

The cost of a driver’s licence, for a 1-year term, is $16. In addition, the registry agent may charge a service charge of up to $10.

The cost of an ID card, for a 1-year term, is $8. In addition, the registry agent may charge a service charge of up to $8.

There are additional costs for taking driver’s licence tests, which vary depending on the test being taken.

Class 7 driver’s licence

Alberta’s Class 7 learner’s licence allows you to drive the following vehicles:

• moped (by yourself)
• all Class 5 or Class 6 vehicles (with someone over 18 who has a full Class 5 driver’s licence)

To obtain a Class 7 driver’s licence:

• visit a registry agent and pass the Class 7 knowledge test – the knowledge test is available in Ukrainian
• pass a vision assessment to ensure your vision is good enough to drive
• purchase your licence card

Class 5 driver’s licence

Alberta’s Class 5 driver’s licence allows you to drive the following vehicles by yourself:

• 2-axle single motor vehicle
• motorhome without airbrakes unless you hold an air brake certificate
• tow a trailer with 1 or more axles if the trailer is not equipped with airbrakes
• moped, recreational vehicle, or any combination of recreational vehicles and a trailer, if the trailer has 2 axles or less and is not equipped with air brakes

2. Follow the school board’s directions and contact the school to complete the student registration form.

3. The school may request the following documentation:

• Immigration documents issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that a person receives prior to or when entering Canada, such as temporary resident documents, Confirmation of Permanent Residence or Refugee/Refugee Claimant documents. These documents should be provided for both parent(s) and child, if possible.

Displaced Ukrainian parents can call Child Care Connect toll free at 1-844-644-5165 to:

• learn about child care options in your area
• get help finding the licensed child care program in your community that works best for your family

Child care subsidy

Ukrainian parents can apply for funding to cover the cost of licensed child care, through the Child Care Subsidy Program.

Eligible child care programs include: daycare, preschool, out-of-school care, or a day home provider through a licensed family day home agency.

To be eligible:

• you must be a Ukraine National
• you must have immigration documents issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada stating you are in Canada due to fleeing the war in Ukraine
• your children must attend a licensed child care program in Alberta
• your children must be 12 years of age or younger and not yet attending Grade 7

Displaced Ukrainians can apply up until January 31, 2024, to receive subsidy for 12 months. 

Income testing is not required for displaced Ukrainians to receive the Child Care Subsidy for one year.

After 12 months, if parents wish to continue receiving subsidy, they must re-apply to the Child Care Subsidy program. Those reapplying will be assessed based on the family’s total gross income and other subsidy eligibility factors.

Displaced Ukrainian parents can access and submit applications on this page until January 31, 2024.

Parents will receive the maximum subsidy amount for each child. The subsidy amount will be different for each family. It will depend on whether the child is school age and the type of care requested. Use the estimator tool and enter $0 for income to estimate the amount of subsidy you are eligible to receive.

To apply, download and complete the application form (PDF, 94 KB) and submit it by email or fax:

Educational and professional qualifications and standards differ from country to country. You may need to have your international credentials assessed to see how they compare with Alberta's standards.

Educational credentials

Your educational credentials are certificates that show that you have completed high school or post-secondary education. The International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS) will assess your international academic credentials and provide an assessment that indicates how your credentials compare to standards in Alberta.

An IQAS assessment can be used to support your application for employment, admission to select post-secondary institutions, and licensure with select Professional Regulatory Organization (PRO). As an agency designated by the Government of Canada, IQAS also completes Educational Credential Assessments (ECA) for immigration purposes.

For more information, visit International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS).

Regulated occupations and trades

Many trades and occupations in Alberta are regulated, which means you need to be licensed by a provincial Professional Regulatory Organization (PRO) to work in that occupation. Other common terms that mean the same thing as regulated are “certified” and “registered.” Regulated occupations and trades require recognition by professional regulatory bodies to ensure workers meet standards of practice.

To learn more about regulated occupations in Alberta, visit Foreign Qualification Recognition.

To learn more about designated trades in Alberta, visit Apprenticeship and Industry Training.
