295 more Afghans transferred to Canada from Pakistan

KABUL (Pajhwok): About 295 Afghan nationals have reached Toronto on a charter flight from Pakistan, says Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

IRCC wrote on its X handle: “Today, 295 Afghan nationals arrived in Toronto on a charter flight from Pakistan. They will continue their journey to approximately 23 communities across Canada, including Calgary, Kingston, and Ottawa.”

According to IRCC, Canada has met its goal of welcoming at least 40,000 refugees and vulnerable Afghans since August 2021, and work continues to process eligible applications already received.

Last week, 291 Afghan nationals have arrived in Toronto on a charter flight from Pakistan.
