Immigration Officials: Vancouver Island

Correctional Facility Dept: The 41 children who started class on Friday were among the 493 migrants who arrived by ship on Vancouver Island on Aug. 13, according to CBC. About 54 children arrived on the ship, but some are too young for the program or have moved to other areas of Canada or were unable to attend for other reasons and some of the Tamil children who arrived on a boat from Sri Lanka last month have started attending school and early childhood development programs at a Burnaby, B.C., youth detention centre. While they are not officially being detained, the children are in the care of about 25 mothers who are being held at the correctional facility while immigration officials try to verify their identities. As reported in the news.
