Refugee Caseload: Immigration

Migrants Dept: Normally, the Legal Services Society helps 700 people go through the refugee process over the course of a year, Mark Benton, executive director of the society, said Wednesday, according to Vancouver Sun. The Legal Services Society is providing legal assistance for the people who arrived on the Sun Sea last week and the arrival of 492 Tamil migrants has almost doubled the B.C.'s Legal Services Society's yearly refugee caseload. "So 500 in one day creates a lot of extra work for us," he said. As reported in the news.
