The refugees in Cornwall, Ont., that CBC News spoke to were from Afghanistan and Nigeria. They left their homes for fear of their lives, leaving behind family members, jobs, and unfinished education. All things they hope to find again here in Canada.

to redirect all asylum seekers from the province, saying Quebec has done enough.

"I did my Bachelor of Business Administration but I would like to continue my further studies in Canada. But as a refugee I do not see any opportunities to apply for those things," said one man from Afghanistan. CBC News is protecting his identity because he still has family back home and he is worried about their safety.

He first went to Brazil before travelling to the U.S. and eventually crossing the land border in Quebec before ending up in Cornwall. "I thought that let's go somewhere that I can at least support myself and at least I bring my family and that they study here in school and for their brighter future," Salim said.

Really . I thought if the came with the help of American civil government than they must be Americans . Why are they refugees from USA .

They are asylum seekers, not refugees. They were in the USA and didn't make an asylum claim, or did, but made one here as well. 50% of Nigerian claims are rejected. Most Nigerian claimants are middle class and earned enough money at home to be able to obtain a US visa.

Nigeria is not a dangerous place. These people are here taking advantage of the system.

Did they legally enter Canada after following the proper procedure or is he an illegal entrant to Canada? Pearson airport or Roxham Road? BTW-there are no active conflicts in either country. These people are not refugees...they're economic migrants coming here for 'free' money.

Because USA was gonna kick them out.

They came here for a better life. Meanwhile in their home countries...

Goodluck. Canadian government will separate you from family members. Allows institutions to charge outrageous amounts for schooling, the jobs don't pay enough to live on. On the brightside. You won't die in fear of being attacked. You'll just die from the elements and starvation

CBC always helping Trudeau. To them it’s not a problem accepting all these illegals, sheltering and feeding them in hotel rooms for months. Also take badly needed $away from our health care and get benefits like dental and drugs for free when I’ve paid for these my entire life

Did they “navigate the immigration process” or did they illegally sneak in the back door of Roxham Road? Canada is not a serious country when it doesn’t protect its borders.

Illegal immigrants crossed at Roxham Rd. from a safe third country, the USA send them back to the USA !

Plz send them back

May they all prosper here.

Same thing Biden is doing in the US,it's for the votes

What’s the average IQ of these nations?

Young fit healthy. Just the type his home nation needs to help sort out their problems. But he diched his family, and abandoned his nation. Is that really the kind of person we want here? Our nation is great because our people are willing to make sacrifices for each other.

Apparently the trades keep complaining that they can't find workers. Especially when there's workers who would do anything to join them.

If it wasn't so pathetic it would be funny.

So basically uneducated leeches using our healthcare, housing, social services $$ for almost a year

Refugees from Nigeria?
