Where were many Ukrainian people settling in Canada?

• A. In the Northern Territories
• B. In urban areas to establish businesses and services
• C. In remote mountain regions
• D. In coastal towns

Answer: (B)

This question tests how immigrant groups tended to settle in Canada based on economic opportunities and social networks. Ukrainians who came to Canada often looked for places where they could quickly build livelihoods, connect with others from similar backgrounds, and access markets. Cities offered a ready customer base, transportation links, and established immigrant networks that made it easier to start and run businesses and provide services—for example shops, crafts, trades, and professional services—while also supporting cultural and religious institutions that helped the community stay connected. While there were farming communities in rural prairie areas as well, the pattern described highlights urban centers as the hubs where Ukrainian settlers established businesses and services to meet both their own needs and those of the broader population.
