Refugee Status Dept: "I was scared and I didn't know where to stay," she said. "It was just a strange country that I researched on the Internet.", according to Vancouver Sun. Federal government funding has been given to support the mentorship program that helps women like Mavimbela, Minister for the Status of Women Rona Ambrose announced at the same news conference and when Makhosazana Mavimbela arrived at YVR to claim refugee status after she fled from Swaziland in February 2009, she didn't know a soul in Canada. But a mentorship program for immigrant and refugee women, as a part of the New Hope Community Services Society, helped Mavimbela negotiate her way around the new city, learn Canadian culture and find housing for herself and her two young children, she said at a news conference Tuesday.
