Any tips for a Ukrainian who is planning to move to Canada? Maybe cultural differences, food, weather, etc.

    Thanks for the response. I’ve heard about the negatives that you’re talking about, as those seem to be all over internet. To be honest it does scare me a bit. I’m not sure on where I’d like to go. I’d love to go somewhere like Vancouver or Toronto, so my Chinese wife can have easier time in the foreign country, but the prices do scare me. I’d be happy to hear any recommendations. Thanks again

      Avoid those two cities.

      For a Chinese wife, the west coast is going to be better due to a higher Asian population. More exposure tends to mean better acceptance.

      Somewhere on Vancouver island that’s not in or near Victoria may work. Consider Nanaimo, Courtenay, Campbell River, or smaller places like Port Alberni or Ladysmith maybe. They’re not cheap, but they’re still cheaper than the two big cities and there are still many normal jobs depending on your skills.

      Good luck and welcome to Canada.
