Canada resettled more refugees than any other country in 2018

Canada resettled the largest number of refugees out of 25 countries in 2018, according to the UN's refugee agency.





Canada resettled the largest number of refugees out of 25 countries in 2018, according to the UN's refugee agency.



The country accepted just over 28,000 refugees last year, with the United States coming in second with 22,900.



Some 92,400 refugees were resettled globally in 2018, fewer than 7% of those awaiting resettlement worldwide.



This figures were contained in a newly released UN Refugee Agency report looking into the global refugee trends last year.



According to the US-based Pew Research Center, which looked the the UNHCR data, 2018 was the first time the US did not lead the world in refugee resettlement since 1980.



Pew noted that until 2017, the US resettled more refugees on an annual basis than the rest of the world's countries combined.



"The sharp drop in US refugee resettlement is in part due to the Trump administration's decision to set a considerably lower cap on the number of refugees allowed into the US than in previous years," said the research organisation.



The number of refugees Canada resettled last year was in line with 2017 figures, while the US numbers dropped. In 2017, the US accepted some 33,000 refugees.



Australia, the UK, and France also resettled high numbers out of the 25 countries that resettled refugees in 2018, according to UN figures.



The US is the world's major recipient of new asylum applications, registering 254,300 applications in 2018.



Canada was ninth on the list of new asylum claims with 55,400 registered in 2018, behind the US, Peru, Germany, France, Turkey, Brazil, Greece and Spain.



An influx of asylum seekers crossing at the US-Canada border has become a political issue after approximately 40,000 people "irregularly" crossed into Canada between 2017 and 2018.



Canada currently is struggling with a backlog of almost 74,000 asylum claims with applicants waiting almost two years for a hearing.

A lot of the countries that Canada accepted refugee applicants from are not countries in the midst of war.

War causes these problems.



People don't want to leave their countries. They want their natural countries to prosper and they want to live good lifestyles in them not be wrecked by war and outdated religion..

I wonder how many "refugees" China, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia and South Africa resettled?

The states under Trump is moving in the right direction on refugees.and Trudeau is moving us in the wrong direction.;

And Canada can accept more. There is the entire Northwest Territories waiting for inhabitants to inhabit its terra firma.

[Bricktop]

And who will pay for this largesse?



Refugees don't come cheap.



They will require housing, schooling, medical attention, social support and welfare. Why do refugee advocates continue to deny that each and every "refugee" comes with a cost to the host nation?

Why would they want thousands of scam refugees from Central America.

No refugees mean advocates have no job.

Women in neighbouring Asian countries are being trafficked in China as forced brides.

At least return border crossers back to America.

If someone's asylum claim is rejected in the states, they should not be allowed to make a claim here and vice versa.

The Prime Minister of Canada is welcoming more.

I think Canada is trying to pass a bill on this.
