By accepting the latest 300 Afghan newcomers which arrived in Toronto, Ontario, on a charter flight, on March 30, 2022, Canada reached an important milestone by welcoming over 10,000 Afghan refugees since August 2021. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is currently working with Resettlement Assistance Program service providers, Provinces and Territories, community organizations, as well as Sponsorship Agreement Holders, to provide Afghan refugees with access to basic necessities and housing to allow them to start their new lives in Canada.
