  1. Canada has the world's third-largest Ukrainian population behind Ukraine itself and Russia, they have contributed greatly into the building of what is Canada today. There was likely sporadic immigration of Ukrainians to Canada as early as 1812. First wave of Ukrainians to immigrate to Canada was in 1891-1892. Starting in 1896, a federal program sought to settle the Prairies with Eastern European farmers (1897–1914) this was Labor Immigration and the Beginning of the Formation of the Ukrainian communities. Some 10,000 Ukrainian Canadians who did not come from Austro-Hungarian provinces enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces during the WW1. Second wave was 1923-1939 , with about 70,000 Ukrainians immigrating but the numbers decreased severely during the depression, the 1931 census reported that the number of Ukrainians in Canada 2.2 per cent of Canada’s population, with more than 85% living in the three Prairie provinces of that 77.9% were in rural areas. More than 40,000 Ukrainian Canadians enlisted to fight overseas during WW2 to prove their patriotism. The third wave 1945-1980s. From 1945 to 1952, most Ukrainians coming to Canada were political refugees and Displaced Persons. In the aftermath of the Second World War, many Ukrainians who had been displaced by the war began to immigrate to Canada. These immigrants were often refugees who had been forced to flee their homes and were looking for a safe haven. In the 1950s and 1960s, many Ukrainians who had been living in displaced persons camps in Europe were given the opportunity to immigrate to Canada. These immigrants were often highly skilled and educated, and they contributed to the growth and development of Canada's economy. Another wave of Ukrainian immigration occurred in the 1970s and 1980s, driven by political and economic factors. Many Ukrainians were dissatisfied with the Soviet regime and its policies, and were looking for greater freedoms and opportunities. Additionally, economic factors such as a shortage of jobs and a declining standard of living also played a role in driving migration. During this period, many Ukrainian immigrants settled in urban areas, such as Toronto and Montreal, and found work in manufacturing and other industries. Despite facing some challenges with discrimination and prejudice, Ukrainian immigrants were able to establish strong communities in Canada and preserve their culture and heritage. The result was large Ukrainian communities in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. They established a number of new organizations and affiliated newspapers, women's and youth groups, the most prominent of which was the Canadian League for the Liberation of Ukraine (renamed the League of Ukrainian Canadians after the collapse of the USSR in 1991). Fourth wave from 1991 to present.The Canadian government also made it easier for Ukrainians to immigrate, offering various programs and initiatives designed to attract skilled workers and entrepreneurs. One of the most popular programs for Ukrainian immigrants was the Federal Skilled Worker Program, which allowed skilled workers to immigrate to Canada based on their education, work experience, language proficiency, and other factors. Many Ukrainians also immigrated to Canada through family sponsorship, as they had family members already living in Canada. In addition to economic opportunities, Ukrainians were also attracted to Canada's multicultural society and the freedom and rights afforded to its citizens. Many Ukrainian immigrants have made significant contributions to Canadian society in various fields, including business, academia, politics, and the arts.
