*[[Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada]]
These Orthodox churches have frequently maintained good relations with all the Orthodox Church jurisdictions in Ukraine. As examples, both North American jurisdictions have former priests of the three major Orthodox jurisdictions in their respective Churches, and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada blesses the use of a select number of books from the Kyivan Kievan Patriarchate as Ukrainian translations. [http://uocc.ca/pdf/documents/Blessing%20of%20Books.PDF]
However, tensions have emerged recently with the expansion of UOC-KP parishes into North America outside of the jurisdictions of the already standing UOC.[http://saveouruoc.com/frontpage.html][http://www.saveouruoc.com/coopercity.html] There are also Ukrainian parishes outside of Ukraine in dioceses of [[Moscow Patriarchate]] [http://orthodox.org.ua/eng/node/54].
