#DYK Among working-age refugees in Canada, the #employment rate was 59.7% in 2020. This is lower than the employment rate for Canadian-born individuals (71.2%), but higher than the employment rate for recent immigrants (53.9%).

The most recent cohort of Afghan arrivals is comprised of individuals who supported the Canada's military mission in Afghanistan, privately sponsored refugees, and their families. #RefugeeInclusion #WelcomingEconomy #BreakTheBias

As part of the #WelcomingEconomy campaign for #RefugeeAwarenessMonth we're sharing facts about #refugees. As of 04/23, more than 30,000 Afghan refugees have arrived in Canada since August 2021. This is a significant milestone to resettling 40,000 Afghans by the end of '23.
