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

Housing affordability is BAD, but if you avoid the major cities (Vancouver/Montreal/Toronto) it is not as bad
Many will point out our health care systems is all backed up especially after covid, but if you need urgent care it is there and will not bankrupt you like in the US.
Most of Canada is COLD in the winter, doing some googling the ONLY place in Canada as MILD as your weather is the west coast near Vancouver (expensive cost of living).
Canada is MASSIVE https://www.thetruesize.com/ All of Ukraine is about the size of one of our Provinces.
Canada has a lot of diversity, each Province has a bit of a different personality and mix of cultures.
Lots of open beautiful places to explore if you venture out.
Flying domestically across canada is quite expensive, again it is huge.
Population density is actually quite low over all, we have lots of open space.
