Ukrainian Refugees Finding Homes in Manitoba | Myrowich Staffing Agency Success Story

With the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine, millions of Ukrainians have been displaced from their homes. In response, the IRCC has introduced new measures to admit Ukrainians to Canada – the CUAET Program. As of March 2022, more than 100,000 Ukrainians have moved to Canada seeking for a safe place to settle in with their families. The existing Ukrainian-Canadian Communities will play an important role in helping with their settlement.

One of such initiatives has been taken by Mark Myrowich, a Canadian entrepreneur with Ukrainian origin. Facing serious worker shortages at his manufactures in Rural Manitoba, he started to establish connections with Ukrainian newcomers online and offering them jobs they were looking for. The opportunity for Ukrainians to obtain a 3 year open work permit through the Program was the perfect opportunity to match need with helping Ukrainians in Canada.

There is a talent shortage in Canada and a talent surplus coming from Ukraine. I’ve cracked the code and figured out how to connect the two for the benefit of all. ~Mark Myrowich

With 25 successful placements in Mark’s two factories and news coverage on local TV, something unexpected happened, he realized the talent of some Ukrainians he hired did not match the talent he needed. Thus, Myrowich Staffing Agency was born from this need to get people into the right seats with the right companies to the benefit of the Ukrainians. When the word got out, other business owners asked how he did it and could he do the same for them?
