f OP is Ukrainian then Alberta would be a great fit, Canada has the largest Ukrainian population in the world outside of the country. There's Ukrainian restaurants and cultural associations everywhere, in Edmonton you can enroll your kids into Ukrainian immersion schools: https://www.epsb.ca/programs/language/uk...bilingual/
Kind of.. there are over 300k people who claim Ukrainian descent in Alberta but the majority aren't REAL Ukrainians. They are mostly descendants that have adopted to Canadian culture. Similar to the original Ukrainian population that settled in lower East side of Manhattan .Today the grandchildren are typical Americans.
NYC has the largest group of Ukrainians who are either immigrants or children of immigrants that FOLLOW THE CULTURE. We have 1.6 million Russian speakers and about half of them are basically from Ukraine but they identify themselves often as Russian because they came more recently from the USSR and the big cities that are Russified (Odessa, kiev, Dnipro, etc).
You bring a Ukrainian from a large city to a community of pre Soviet Ukrainians and she will be a fish out of water. Analogy would be bringing a Ukrainian to lower East side of Manhattan.They have a museum and credit unions but they aren't REAL Ukrainians. She would fit in SheapsheadbaY OR Brighton beach better because she would be with other immigrants that have lived a Soviet and post Soviet life. Big difference than the pre Soviet ancestors or the ones that came in the 1940's and 50's who are similar to Polish(Western Ukies). Just sayin...
