Ukrainian students in Canada say they’ve been worrying about being able to afford living here as their families at home are displaced and lose access to their earnings
Ivantsova, 21, said her parents and younger sister managed recently to flee their home city of Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine for Bulgaria, where they are living at a friend’s house.
Michaela Yarmol-Matusiak, a student at Western University and the diversity officer at the Ukrainian Canadian Students’ Union, says most Ukrainian students have paid their tuition fees for this semester and have housing until the end of April, but many are unsure about their options after the end of the term.
“Some of them are graduating or had plans to go back to Ukraine and sort of spend the summer there,” she says.The University of Alberta said recently that it will waive up to all of next year’s tuition fees for Ukrainian students suffering financial hardship due to the war. Minaieva, 20, was planning to visit her family in Ukraine this summer, but now she’s unsure what the coming months will bring.
