As stated in the documents, there are now approximately 100,000 Ukrainians in Canada who have moved under the refugee program. Many were lured by free tickets from Canadian charitable foundations, others by a high “lift” from the government. However, in reality, all was not so rosy.”We all grew up with films where America and Canada are shown as prosperous countries, everything is so new and stuffed. And when I went here, I thought I would meet technology, but like I had had ten years ago,” said Ukrainian Alina. Ivenko quotes the publication.She added that among Canadians, there are still many who use “rotary telephones”, write paper letters and pay for their purchases with checks.According to another refugee, Anastasia Moire, Canada was expensive in terms of taxes and the banking system was very “slow and outdated”. Another migrant agrees with her, saying that the lack of knowledge of the language forces her family to survive in a foreign country.A resident of Kiev, Veronika, who moved to Toronto, complained of problems with medicine. “To go to the doctor, you can wait a month. And in the emergency room, my son and I waited eight hours on chairs with a temperature of over 40,” the woman said indignantly.In March 2022, Canada granted Ukrainians an emergency permit to enter the country, while newcomers cannot obtain permanent resident or refugee status, they are allowed to stay here for three years as temporary residents, recalls RIA News .Earlier, Irish freelance columnist Rodney Edwards said that in Ireland Ukrainian refugees are forced to live in cramped rooms with rats, no showers and in the cold. At the same time, Ukrainians are afraid to complain about poor conditions, assuming that they can be deported.
