Anyone with reasonable mindset would not expect people from Ukraine or other war torn country to return home as their countries would need years to rebuild physical infrastructure and functional economy. Healthcare, education, sense of safety and normalcy actually takes much longer time to restore. It is not only impractical, but also deeply disruptive to expect them to go back when the situation in their home countries is still uncertain or only marginally improved. Families from those countries have established new life in Canada and have integrated with the society, and have Canadian children whose best interests are to remain in Canada. I am not sure how you come to the idea that it is difficult to be accepted as Syrian refugee in Canada. IRB acceptance of refugee claims from Syria is still quite high. Despite major civil war has ended and Assad regime collapsed, Syria is still affected by clashes between various militia groups and there is no functional army or strong police force in Syria. There is no centralized universal government that would guarantee safey of everyone in Syria, and there are regions not controlled by the government. There are still credible claims related to safety, ongoing violence and lack of state protection and I think these are valid claims that will be accepted.
