After the Taliban swept to power in August 2021, Canada promised to resettle at least 40,000 Afghans through a number of special programs. Canada is prioritizing the most vulnerable Afghans, “including woman leaders, human-rights defenders, persecuted and religious minorities, 2SLGBTQI+ individuals and journalists,” says a news release from the Immigration Department.
So far, 11,990 applications had been approved, but only 9,875 had arrived in Canada by March 30, according to data published by the Immigration Department.
