On October 27, 2021, the Ministry of Immigration, Population Growth and Skills of Newfoundland and Labrador announced that 116 refugees from Afghanistan arrived in St. John’s to begin a new life in a new country.
These refugees are mainly those who chose to stand up and work cooperatively with Canadian and NATO-led efforts to create security.
This group of Afghan refugees was directed to St. John’s by the Federal Government under the government-sponsored refugee program and is the first group of Afghans to land in Canada outside of Calgary or Toronto.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) has launched a 'Welcome to Canada' campaign focused on immigration detention in provincial prisons.
The campaign focuses on detainees in provincial jails. Every year, Canada incarcerates thousands of immigration detainees, including refugee claimants and other immigrants.
They are detained in some of the most restrictive conditions of confinement, including in maximum-security provincial jails and solitary confinement.
They are asking the Canadian Government to stop holding immigration detainees in jails and to abolish immigration detention as a practice.
