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.

As Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revealed his new cabinet on October 26, 2021, the country’s new Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship (IRCC) became apparent.
Sean Fraser, a 37-year-old lawyer and former Member of Parliament from Nova Scotia is now Canada’s new immigration Minister.
Fraser has never had a political role at the IRCC, however, was parliamentary secretary to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of finance and the Minister of middle-class prosperity as well as the associate Minister of finance.

A public opinion research company Pollara Strategic Insights introduced a 20-page document, a report examining workplace racism at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
According to the outcome of the survey, there were repeated instances of employees and supervisors using offensive terms with their racialized colleagues.
Racialized IRCC employees told that they were marginalized in the workplace —
kept in precarious temporary contract positions disproportionately and for a long time which prevented them from advocating for their rights to promotion or from speaking out against racist incidents.
this report comes out at a time when Borders officers in the US have been fired for racist remarks and behavior on facebook. Link below. This shows how personal bias is reflected in the decisions that Immigration North and South of the border are determined through personal bias not professional.
