Three years in war and Russia, Ukrainians continue to live in Manitoba – Winnipeg
Since leaving Ukraine in August 2022, Mila Shykota built a new life in Winnipeg.
Her daughter is at school. He and his partner buy a house. He even walked to Kyiv last year to visit the family and bring his beloved cat home home to Canada.
“I can say that I am together in Canada, but I remember my country and worry about it,” she said.
“I read the news feed daily, and I communicate with my mom and my relatives.”
Shykota is one of the 298,128 Ukrainers who came to Canada through the Authority of Canada – A Cuet), a Corporate System in March 2022 following Russia in Ukraine. About 30,000 Ukrainians made their way to Manitoba, according to Joanne Landosky, President of the Ukradian Congress Manitoba Chapter Manitoba.

Shykota protects lasting, but in some Canadian Ukrainians under Cuet, the future is uncertain. Those who arrive before March 31, 2024, are able to apply for a job or permission to learn temporary forms, but those who arrive in the back must do it due to migration, refugees and citizens of Canada. The federal government announced to determine the terms of the passing year.
“I know many who were back in Canada went to Europe even in Ukraine,” said Ishykota.
As he moved on to life in Winnipeg, Shykota said the war continued the “mind pressure” of Ukraine, who were victims every day.
“Ukraine is a very brave country. Our people are really heroes, but we need help, we need help, because it is not just a war in Ukraine,” he said.
