Do Canada passport holders need a visa to visit UA?

No visa is required. Canadian ordinary passport holders may enter Ukraine visa-free for tourism and short stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Canada and Ukraine have a visa-waiver arrangement: holders of an ordinary Canadian passport can travel to Ukraine for tourism, business, or short visits without a visa for up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period. Ukraine is NOT part of the Schengen area, so the EU Schengen 90/180 rule and the upcoming ETIAS authorization do not apply to Ukraine; the 90/180 limit here is Ukraine's own national rule. At the border, Canadians must present a passport valid for the period of stay (the Government of Canada recommends validity of at least the duration of your stay; carrying 3-6 months beyond departure is the safe standard), and Ukraine requires every foreign visitor to hold a valid travel medical insurance policy covering the entire stay (minimum recommended coverage 30,000 EUR, including hospitalization and medical evacuation). Border officers may also request proof of sufficient funds, onward/return travel, and accommodation details. There is no entry fee for visa-free stays. Stays beyond 90 days require an appropriate long-stay visa and temporary residence permit obtained in advance. IMPORTANT NON-VISA CONTEXT: Because of Russia's ongoing full-scale invasion, the Government of Canada advises against all travel to Ukraine, martial law remains in effect, airspace is closed to civilian flights (entry is via land borders from neighboring EU countries), and consular assistance is severely limited. The visa-free verdict reflects the legal entry regime only, not safety.
