KABUL (Pajhwok): About 316 Afghan nationals have reached Toronto on a charter flight from Pakistan, says Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
On its twitter handle, IRCC wrote: “Today, 316 Afghan nationals arrived in Toronto on a charter flight from Pakistan. They will continue their journey to approximately 36 communities across Canada, including Calgary, Hamilton and St. Catharines.”
It said that Canada had met its goal for welcoming at least 40,000 refugees and vulnerable Afghans since August 2021, and work to continue to process eligible applications already received.
In the last two years, Canada has transferred most of the Afghan immigrants from Pakistan, Tajikistan, and the United Arab Emirates via charter flights.
