My question is to try and help 2 Ukrainian friends. They do not speak Ukrainian and their English is limited. They are concerned about the Canadian government award of $3000 If they accept this,does it mean they will have to stay for the 3 year limit of their temporary CU visa? If they leave...

This forum has given me some really useful advice and I have been passing it on to my young Ukrainian friends Thank you to those who have helped. My next question is with regard to the lump sum given by the government. I believe we understand the basics...Open a bank , wait . Money will be paid...

Many thanks

Okay, so I have already had two totally different responses to two different posts Ive made. Please don't misunderstand me, I really appreciate the fact that you have taken the time to write. Your comments are helpful. My questions are generally details which I have not been able to source...

Is there an official body or department which will give accurate, up to date information about the CUET scheme? I know the application date has passed My questions are about the welcome package.

Firstly, if you read any of my comments about this situation I state right from the start my position with regard to Ukrainians. If anyone doesn't understand what I have written, that is their problem not mine. As far as I'm concerned my statements reflect my opinions. I have stated that I have...

Thanks for that information. They already have their 3 year visas so that's not a problem. They want to stay in Toronto so I will warn them about the possible accommodation situation and also employment. To be honest I think they believe the process will be simple. I must say I had my doubts...

Does anyone have the answer to these questions please? I have tried various online sources, looked at the Canadian Government website and asked questions of other immigrants and the answer varies considerably. I have some friends (not refugees) who are hoping to immigrate to Canada soon. They...

Sorry, there's a mistake in that! It should read: "I really hope that you do NOT think that I hate Ukrainians"

Thank you for that. I am aware of the situation regarding war refugees and I fully applaud the action taken by the government of not only Canada but many countries around the world. My point is WHY is it possible for any Ukrainian who has happily been living in a European country for over 10...

I really hope that I do NOT hate Ukrainians. If that is so you have no idea about me and keep personal opinions to yourself. I have supported Ukraine financially/ morally and any way I have at my disposal ever since Putin's illegal invasion so don't dare say otherwise to me! I am fully aware...

Sorry that is not the case. ANYONE with Ukrainian citizenship can gain entry to Canada and obtain the same benefits as war refugees. I know this to be correct as I have Ukrainian friends who have done this. I an not singling out Ukrainians. I have many Ukrainian friends and have spent time with...

I've tried various sources from Government Immigration services downwards and no-one has given me a plausible answer to my question. Let me make it perfectly clear from the outset that I do NOT have any prejudices against any ethnicities. My belief is, and always has been, that if you are a good...

Well I honestly can't agree that Ukrainians living in the country prior to Putin's illegal invasion, "got lucky" Their country has been decimated by a delusional, evil man. Their homes have been destroyed, their schools and hospitals blasted, their personal possessions lost for eternity.The...

I know how the Canadian system works in this situation I also have a slight understanding of Canadian systems, having lived their briefly. I have to admit that Canadian winters were too much for me to last for even a "temporary" period. I'm not really interested in the US from what I hear via...

I really don't want to get into a political discussion about the situation. If you read my comment you should be able to note that I stated. I don't expect REFUGEES from any country to be required to have attained a certain level in the English language. They are seeking sanctuary on a...

Wow... that means you have spoken with most of the native English speakers? That's quite an achievement . I certainly haven't and there are some regional dialects which I wouldn't be able to classify as flawless or flawed, simply because I cannot understand the dialect. Naturally, that doesn't...

No nor me... except to say that these days it's much easier to enter Canada than it is the UK...but you don't understand that obviously

Three years isn't what I would classify as temporary, but perhaps it is in terms of Canadian government basic concepts. Canadian regulations are obviously not as stringent as they are in the UK. Here a basic concept is that is necessary to have an understanding of the language. If you do not...

It's amazing in a country which has hang-ups about bi-linguilism that they don't care if you can't speak Canadian English or French before you get a work visa. In the UK the legal rule is that you have to be at least level IB in an internationally recognised test in reading, writing, speaking...
