How does Canada feel like home to refugees?
Canada is home to more than 1,000,000 refugees, and this essay is about why Canada feels like home to them.
Canada feels like home to refugees because Canada is a safe place. The countries the refugees came from are at war. However, they could be trying to run away from unfairness. Canada is a lot safer than the countries they came from. Canada resettles them through resettlement programs like the Government-Assisted Refugees (GAR) Program and the Private Sponsorship of Refugees (PSR) Program.
The Private Sponsorship of Refugees (PSR) program lets private groups sponsor refugees. The private sponsor will support a refugee for the sponsorship period. The support they will provide will include
furniture and clothing
housing, food, and public transportation
supporting refugees socially and emotionally
This helps the refugee feel at home.
If the refugee is a Government-Assisted Refugee, then the government of Canada will support the refugee for up to one year or until they can support themselves. The government will give refugees basic things such as food, clothing, health care, and housing.
In conclusion, refugees feel at home because Canada provides them the necessary things to make a home here. They should be proud to call Canada home.
