MODERATORS
I'm a hiring manager.
Most employers will do a quick social media snoop of applicants they are interested in, but FB and instagram are not important if you don't have them. Don't feel pressured to go back to those cesspools. Many managers (not me, but it feels like most others) like to look at a LinkedIn profile, but it's probably not a very big deal since you won't have any Canadian connections yet.
Libraries are a great resource like phanto mentioned, and would be a good place to ask for help with resumes as well.
Roughly where in Canada are you moving? There are a lot of places with big Ukrainian communities.
It's good to hear that I don't need those. I do have a LinkedIn account, and I'll update it soon.
We're not sure yet, so I do appreciate all the suggestions in this thread. We were thinking Toronto because of friends that we have there, but I'd rather go to some smaller city with decent Chinese community. I have no problems living in a different country, but I'm worried that it will be difficult for my wife.
