Canada: Refugees and Jean-Nicholas Beuze

canada: We have identified 1.2 million refugees who need to be resettled, according to Metro News. It's a question of survival. Jean-Nicholas Beuze, who is based in Ottawa, told a panel Monday night, ahead of World Refugee Day Tuesday, that the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees UNHCR recorded the highest number of refugees ever in 2016 with 22.5 million. It's not a question of getting a better life, he said. He urged Canada to consider taking more. Do you know how many will be resettled in Canada this year 9,000. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
