Canada accepted the first charter flight of Afghan refugees
On December 2, 2021, the first charter flight of privately sponsored Afghan refugees arrived in Canada. Around 250 vulnerable Afghan refugees who worked for Canada during and after the military mission — including women leaders, human rights defenders, persecuted minorities, LGBTI individuals, and journalists landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport. As a part of Canada’s humanitarian commitment, in the upcoming days, these refugees will be resettled into their host communities and follow the quarantine rules with the support of their private sponsors.
