CANADA – As Trump blocks refugees, Miller says Canada has ‘limited capacity’
Immigration Minister Marc Miller said the U.S. decision is “unfortunate” and Canada will continue to be there for people fleeing conflict, but there is a limit to how many it can support. “Canada will continue to remain a humanitarian country. We have limited ability to welcome people in a proper way,”
Canada has already taken in more than 50,000 Afghans who fled the Taliban takeover in 2021 and is currently housing more than 300,000 Ukrainians as the Russian invasion goes on. In addition, Canada has also welcomed tens of thousands of Syrian refugees over the years, he said.
