The anecdote in the intro makes it sound like Ukrainians are going home for economic reasons, which comports with domestic concerns about cost of living, but further down it turns out almost none cite that as a reason. Most are returning home due to family, friends, homesickness, love of country, etc.

Even further:

"I could not get used to the Canadian lifestyle. The European way of life… it's way too familiar, too beloved," he added. "We couldn't afford staying in [another] European country, so I came back to Ukraine."

To this person, Canada is more affordable but it just doesn't deliver the "lifestyle".
