I had been under the impression that Ukrainian immigrants to Canada were all directly impacted by the war. It seems that the program established by the federal government enabled European based Ukrainians to immigrate as well. CUAET references “Ukrainian nationals” so I guess that’s not limited to those in Ukraine but the description of the program indicates that it was set up for emergency travel to escape the invasion.
I just found out that a friend’s cousin, now in Newfoundland, had been living in the Czech Republic for five years, not Ukraine.
I haven’t been able to find statistics on this or any mention of this anywhere.
