35 Percent of Canadian refugees on Welfare after 10 years

A Statistics Canada study has found that 72% of government-sponsored refugees still rely on welfare programs two years after arrival, and 35% are still dependent after ten years. I doubt this should come as a surprise to anyone.  Add to that the enormous cost for their healthcare as they age out. The local schools. Here we go:

The report comes as the Trudeau government plans to bring in record-setting numbers of immigrants and refugees in the coming years. The federal Liberals have overseen the acceptance of over 25,000 Syrian refugees, primarily government-sponsored, and plans on accepting 40,000 refugees from Afghanistan.

Overall, the feds are looking to admit over 75,000 refugees in 2022.

With the acceptance of more refugees, questions regarding Canada’s growing backlog of applicants of future citizens, permanent residents, international students and more have reached more than 1.8 million.

Previously, the 1976 Immigration Act had made it mandatory for newcomers to demonstrate they had work skills and the ability to be economically independent. The Chretien government disposed of the requirement, so refugees no longer had to prove they were unlikely to rely on social assistance.

The report showed that compared to the 35% rate for government-sponsored refugees, 23% of privately sponsored refugees relied on welfare ten years after coming to Canada.

Afghan refugees struggling to adapt living in US

How are things going here? May 23, 2022.

It is doubtful any study like this will be found in the U.S. Our little spot of heaven where I live has the largest NGO centers for “immigrants” in the U.S.  Local news often leads with stories needing “living arrangements” for the influx.

So they overwhelm the healthcare systems, apartments and schools.  No one cares.

The best of the swamp today.
