Ottawa is chartering three planes to bring Ukrainian refugees from Poland to Canada.
Immigration Minister Sean Fraser says seats on the flights to Winnipeg, Montreal and Halifax will be available on a first come, first served basis.
Thousands of Ukrainians have arrived in Canada since Russian forces attacked in late February, and Fraser says it isn't clear how many more will come.
The flights are in addition to the commercial options that are being subsidized by a special fund.
Transport Minister Omar Alghabra says the government continues to face logistical challenges in helping Ukrainians who want to come here.
