Crossroads International and Immigration Policies

Canada: Several years earlier, Canada had relaxed its immigration policies, so I also saw many black immigrants arriving from Caribbean nations, according to Globe and Mail. They too got in, but were often made to sit in a waiting room for hours and hours. Canada agreed to accept thousands of Ugandan refugees, and many were still flowing through Pearson airport the summer I worked there. Quiet, silent, and dignified. Within six years, I began a lifelong connection as a volunteer with Crossroads International, a small, non-profit Canadian group that has devoted itself for more than 50 years to promoting grassroots community and economic development in sub-Saharan Africa and in Bolivia. The experience ignited my desire to travel, and to connect with people in the black diaspora well beyond Toronto. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
