CUAET visa for dual Ukrainian British citizen
Hi, I am Ukrainian as well as British citizen originally from Mariupol. We lost everything in Mariupol and I am really stressed. It doesn't help that on russian tv and news they keep saying how they can hit the UK, and I feel I am not safe and want to move to Canada.
I have 2 questions if you could help me with:
1. Can I travel with ETA on my British passport and at Canadian airport present both British and Ukrainian passports to get the 3 year open work permit under CUAET?
2. Can my British citizen husband and daughter 11 years old join me with ETA?
I am under great stress and we have decided that we will leave Europe asap. I love Britain, and will leave with a heavy heart, but don't want to take any chances and rely on hope.
Thanks

ok, thanks, I wasn't sure because on the gov website was written that if you have current visa or eta could travel, but maybe its for the dependents rather than the main applicant.

If so, then yes, you can travel on that but would only then be admitted as a 'normal' visitor or under the conditions of any visa you hold. So you'd still have to apply for CUAET online if you want to stay longer or get the work permit.
HTH.

We have Eta's on our British passports. Do you know how long it takes to get it once inside Canada if we apply there?

See the link above - all applications are aimed to be processed within 14 days. Personally, if you're aiming to go with a child, I'd make sure you have it in place before you leave.
