I think the Afghanistan sector within our department, working in lockstep with security agencies and Global Affairs, has had a lot of successes and things to be proud of.
In Canada, 40,000 Afghan refugees have resettled. Almost on a weekly basis right now, we are seeing charter flights leave Pakistan for arrival in Canada. We have a good pace of departures right now. We're working very well with Pakistani officials in being able to access our clients on the ground. This is not always easy. The biggest challenge remains to be our clients who remain in Afghanistan and our ability to support them. Big efforts are being spent on that.
Yesterday, we had a chance to speak with some of our employees. They spoke about their experiences through the Afghan resettlement effort. Highlighting some efforts of some IRCC staff, one in particular was able to reunite a three year old with her father after the mass evacuation in August. Another individual personally interviewed over 3,500 people in desperate situations. This work continues, and our commitment continues. It's not only at IRCC but also at other government departments, including Global Affairs.
