Refugees in Africa consistently wait the longest for resettlement in Canada.
This inequity is the focus of a detailed report by the CCR, “Every day we live with fear and uncertainty” – Canadian Processing of Resettled Refugees in Africa.
This report explores the experiences of refugees awaiting resettlement to Canada. The findings are based on case submissions, CCR member input, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada data, public information, and CCR’s long-standing expertise on refugee processing.
The report assesses both progress made and continued failings, and makes recommendations for achieving equity in refugee processing.
