Russian man in Canada who received conscription notice to fight in Ukraine granted refugee status...

"Modlyi was visiting his sister, Valeriia Granillo, in Grande Prairie, Alta., when Russia invaded Ukraine last February. Granillo, who moved to Canada in 2012 in search of better opportunities, now works in cancer care and is a Canadian citizen.

While he was in Canada, his parents received a conscription notice for him. That is when Modlyi said he decided to apply to become a refugee."
