Canadian population welcomes and supports Afghan refugees in their communities.
Since August 2021, Canadians donated more than $1 million and over 200,000 goods, including kid’s toys, clothing, and personal care products.
More than 5,000 Canadians have opened their homes and provided temporary accommodations to Afghan refugees. The Calgary Catholic Immigration Society (CCIS), the Afghan Network for Social Services, as well as Resettlement Assistance Program service provider (RAP SPO) in Calgary coordinate volunteers and donations to help Afghan refugees.
Newfoundland and Labrador also welcomed Afghans with generous donations.

On February 21, 2022, the Government of Canada introduced a new public delivery update regarding the revocation of citizenship.
New instructions clarify the process to revoke Canadian citizenship and assist the Case Management Branch (CMB) to evaluate cases where an individual’s citizenship is being considered for revocation for the reasons such as false representation, fraud or knowingly concealing material circumstances.
When the IRCC suspects misrepresentation, the Compliance Inspections and Investigations Division (CIID) gathers and collates relevant information on potential revocation of citizenship cases.
In addition, the Government also updated the instructions for general information on revocation of citizenship.

Last year, Canada welcomed more than 405,000 permanent residents.
This is a record number of immigrants accepted by Canada in one year. Immigration drives almost 100% of the Canadian labour force and accounts for approximately 80% of population growth.
In addition, currently, there are under 1,000,000 unfilled vacancies in the country that the Government tries to fill by inviting more and more candidates.
According to Statistics Canada, by 2030, around 5,000,000 Canadians are expected to retire, which will drop the worker to retiree ratio to 3:1.
Thus, the Canadian Government increased the immigration levels to meet the economic needs and tackle the labour shortage issue in the country.
