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

I moved Mykolaiv+Odessa to US in the 90's, then married someone who grew up in Canada. Citizen of both.

Food wise, try a lot, Ukrainian flavors are incredibly bland, depending on where you live (I know Mississauga well) the Indian food is very good and authentic and kind of the polar opposite of traditional slavic cooking.

Canadians are more diverse, cultures vary depending on who you're talking to, cannot always tell just by appearance. Very very different from Ukraine in this regard as well.

Other things people here covered already.
