Prior to arriving in Canada, the family spent more than 17 hours fleeing to the nearest city in a borrowed car with only minimal clothing, Aryna’s favourite dresses, some food, utensils, a desktop computer and pocket-sized mementos of their travelling days — a trip that would have normally taken a couple of hours. “It was a lot of dead bodies, a lot of mines on the road and a lot of holes in cars from the bullets,” Iryna said.

S’il devait demeurer fidèle au même employeur pour la durée du contrat, soit environ 2 ans, ce n’est plus le cas.

CTV News – ‘I Landed in a Safe Haven’: Uganda Refugees Celebrate LGBTQ2S+ Community for First Time
After Ali Kaviri fled his home city of Kampala, Uganda two months ago, he entered a city that celebrated what, in Uganda, was considered a crime. Laws in Uganda allow anyone who is an ally of the LGBTQ2S+ community to be prosecuted, with legislation defining some gay, lesbian or trans acts as crimes that warrant prison sentences usually reserved for murder. Kaviri, who recently applied for Canadian refugee status, has found relief in celebrating freedoms he was previously accustomed to hiding.
