Canada continues to step up, making meaningful, life-saving pledges for refugees at the Global
#RefugeeForum held this week in Geneva. Leading the Canadian delegation, Minister Miller presented and endorsed several pledges to support innovative solutions to the global refugee crisis, including:
- $21 million for the International Organization for Migration to support vulnerable Afghan populations in Central Asia and Pakistan
- resettling more than 136,000 refugees over the next 3 years and continue to offer protection to those who need resettlement most, including women in precarious situations, ethnic and religious minorities, Rohingya refugees, members of LGBTQI+ communities and human rights defenders
- making the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot, a refugee labour mobility pathway, a permanent economic immigration program and explore an education pathway for eligible refugee and displaced students to study in Canada
