A coalition of Canadian companies is planning to help bring 1,000 Ukrainian families displaced by war to Canada.
The initiative was organized by Eric Boyko, chief executive officer of Stingray. His company employs nearly 40 people at its office in Lviv. He said he couldn’t sit by without doing his part. Of Ukrainian descent himself, Mr. Boyko said he is thinking of his family near Lviv, Ukraine’s sixth-largest city, and his cousins who are currently in Warsaw, preparing to travel to Canada.
For technology and IT roles, Mr. Boyko said, a typical salary in Montreal is around $120,000. Even if the armed conflict in Ukraine is resolved within a few months, he said, this will give Ukrainians the ability to earn high wages to support their families while cities back home are being rebuilt. Ukrainians who want to work with coalition companies will still have to apply to come to Canada through government channels. Ottawa announced that Ukrainians seeking safe haven would be allowed to reside temporarily in Canada for up to three years through the Canada-Ukraine authorization for emergency travel , after which they can apply to extend their stay.

Will any kids be exempt from Quebec's law requiring education in French and be allowed to be taught in Ukrainian? Otherwise, refugees with kids are better off in other parts of Canada where Ukrainian is already taught.
