To hear the word ‘Immigrant’ we do not always think about ‘refugees’ as being a part of them. Refugees are seen as forced migrants; people who are literally being obligated to leave their country of origin because of political, social, cultural, and ethnic reasons, as well as for religious persecution or even fear of death. Refugees, indeed have a right to asylum. Because of this, I felt compelled and inspired to know more about them, who they are, what will become of them, and in regards to this course, are they a drain or gain on the Canadian economy?
