    Government $3000

    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...

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...

    How/Why is this possible?

    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...

    End of welcome package.

    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...

    End of welcome package.

    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...

    How/Why is this possible?

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

    How/Why is this possible?

    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...

    How/Why is this possible?

    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...

    How/Why is this possible?

    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...

    How/Why is this possible?

    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...

    Who needs language testing? No-one who wants to immigrate to Canada

    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...

    Who needs language testing? No-one who wants to immigrate to Canada

    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...

    Who needs language testing? No-one who wants to immigrate to Canada

    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...

    Who needs language testing? No-one who wants to immigrate to Canada

    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...

    Who needs language testing? No-one who wants to immigrate to Canada

    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...

    Who needs language testing? No-one who wants to immigrate to Canada

    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...
