Summary:Refugee advocates are expressing shock after the Canadian government announced, on Jul 15, it was ending its Special Immigration Measures program for Afghans that was set up less than a year ago. That program prioritized former employees of the Canadian Armed Forces, the Canadian government, including interpreters, and their families. Today, the government is only halfway to its goal of bringing 40,000 Afghans to resettle in Canada. The closure could mean Afghans, who assisted Canada in its 20-year mission, may face persecution and even death if they are not able to get to Canada.
