Canadians continue to support Afghan refugees
On April 29, 2022, the Government of Canada made a new update regarding the Afghan refugees in the country.
As of now, Canada has welcomed a total of 12,160 Afghan refugees. The Canadian Government works hard to bring at least 40,000 Afghan nationals to Canada as quickly and safely as possible.
Canadian local communities make donations and help build social bonds, giving a sense of common purpose. Canada and its long-standing tradition of charitable giving help more and more
Afghan newcomers arriving every week.

According to the latest statistical records from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the country welcomed a total of 72,510 immigrants in the first two months of 2022.
Following this rate of immigration, one can predict about 435,000 new permanent residents to Canada in 2022. In January 2022, the Government of Canada invited 35,330 new permanent
residents, and in February, another 37,180 newcomers have been admitted. When compared to last year, these figures are almost 50% more than the 48,095 new permanent residents that have been invited during the same period in 2021.

The president of the Council of Canadian Innovators (CCI), Benjamin Bergen, called for the Government of Canada to allow foreign high-potential tech talents with in-demand skills to come to Canada without a job offer.
The president of a business council added that the United Kingdom has already launched national innovation strategy on this matter, and Canada also should try it as the Canadian labour market is desperate for software developers or data scientists.
Benjamin Bergen clarified that there was no “need for a 100-page academic study or a parliamentary committee convening hearings on Canada’s acute talent shortage and then waiting a year to
publish a report,” and the labour shortage in the country demands to take this situation seriously.
