Як виявляється, тотальні проблеми з виплатою державної допомоги для новоприбулих українців- вже турбують навіть канадійців, які зголосилися на хост.
*WHY* IS THE FEDERAL SUPPORT PAYMENT BROKEN? PLEASE ASK YOUR MP!!! TELL THEM WHAT A PROBLEM IT IS CREATING!

The current situation appears to be that in recent weeks pretty much all newcomer Ukrainians (are there exceptions?) are not getting their federal support payments as promised.
This will be catastrophic if it continues! Many people are coming here and managing without hosts, because they have counted on this money for start up costs. As soon as something goes wrong (delay in finding work, etc) people are in dire straits.
Hosts are willing to host in many or even most cases because they know that this support payment will help ensure that families don't need to stay more than a month or two. This problem is making hosts more cautious. Already I know of a couple situations where a family that previously would have been able to move out was unable to. Why? Because it will now take them a couple months to save up for the damage deposit that the support payment would have covered.
We may soon see a major impact on willingness to host!
We are being told, week after week, that there is a "technical glitch" and to "try again next week." This situation is very strange.
Has anyone who applied after September 9 received their support payment? Did you do anything special?
