Canadian non-for-profit migrant settlement service, Mosaic, has applied to resettle almost 150 refugees from Australian detention in Canada.
The applications have been made under Canada’s program in which citizens can sponsor refugee resettlement as long as they commit to providing emotional and financial support to the refugee for the period of sponsorship.
Mosaic says they decided to use all of their sponsorships for those in indefinite detention in Australia considering the absence of commitment from the Australian government to settle refugees.
