On September 22, 2022, Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced that 20,000 Afghan refugees have arrived in Canada since August 2021. The newcomers arrived on a charter flight from the United Arab Emirates to Toronto, Ontario. Approximately 337 government-assisted refugees were on board and will settle across communities in Canada, including Abbotsford (BC), Calgary (AB), and Windsor (ON). Despite the difficulties, Canada continues to fulfill its mission of resettling at least 40,000 vulnerable Afghans to the country by the end of 2023.
