Afghan Refugees Arrive at Pearson
September 2, 2022
This morning, at Toronto Pearson Airport, I greeted the arrival in Canada of more than 330 very happy and thankful passengers onboard a flight of Afghan refugees, including privately sponsored refugees, government assisted refugees, and extended family members of former interpreters.
Canada has a proud tradition of welcoming and supporting the world’s most vulnerable. In order to help adjust to life in Canada, we will ensure that newcomers have resources to cope with past trauma and rebuild their lives.
