Ukrainians in Canada: workplaces are welcoming, but newcomers are overqualified

Viktoriia Kulakovska moved to New Brunswick last August after fleeing the war that reached her hometown in Odesa, about 475 kilometres south of the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv.Kulakovska and her husband, both qualified as lawyers, were running their legal firm in Ukraine.
