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.

What is your question. Information is pretty straightforward and posted online. The Ukrainian community diaspora are the ones really providing most of the support not the government.
The diaspora is providing the majority of housing after 2 weeks in a hotel although many go straight to a host family. They have booths at many airports to welcome people, have set up social media to try and match people to housing before coming to Canada, have set-up employers offering jobs before coming to Canada or after, etc. One of the reasons that Ukranians are are not ending up homeless to same extent as many other groups of people. Contacting the Ukrainians groups that have been set up to welcome people will give you an overview of what can be expected from the government and from the Ukrainian community. There a certainly government services but most of the are overwhelmed so can only provide so many services. Many of the services also have wait lists or cater to those who may not speak English or did not have good professional jobs in their home country. The Ukrainian organizations who are helping people coming to Canada on CUAET are probably a better resource than the government for information and likely easier to contact. In terms of funds that can be expected from the Canadian government like the 3k per adult that can be found online.
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 online.. Those which I have found tend to be contradictory. In the UK there is specific department which deals with Ukrainian immigration. Having said that, I telephoned on three different occasions and was given three totally different answers to exactly the same question! Local areas in the country have groups which deal with immigration questions. This s fine, but it does not help my friends s they re moving to Canada not the UK. Perhaps someone might be able to give me a contact email for one of these groups or suggest somewhere specific? I really need some definitive answers to relatively minor details.
Ukrainian Canadian Congress is the overarching group in Canada, try there.
