Absolutely. Thank you for the question.
When most people think of the contributions to Canada that refugee claimants can make, they think of the labour force, and that is definitely an undeniable fact. Refugee claimants do, in fact, support Canada through taxes and their labour.
Refugee claimants are actually very competitive, especially in the province of Quebec, with economic migrants. Refugee claimants are more likely to be entrepreneurs and start their own businesses in Canada, bringing new cultures and new perspectives. This is definitely a benefit to Canada.
A story that everyone may be familiar with is that of Peace by Chocolate. That is definitely a success story and a great narrative to call attention to here.
Thank you.
