Like many other countries, Canada also helps Ukrainians who have to move to another country due to the russian invasion. Back in the spring, the Canadian government announced a new law that will apply to Ukrainians affected by the war. The country's authorities also announced a new 4-year plan, according to which Canada plans to increase its immigration goals and accept almost one and a half million immigrants by 2025.

Immigration to Canada is not an easy process that should be taken very seriously. In order for people who are planning to move to understand all the nuances of this matter as much as possible, we have prepared a special dictionary of basic terms for an immigrant to Canada.
