This is a BIRTHDAY story of a REFUGEE girl newly arrived in Canada.In 2019, more than 3780 refugee claimants arrived in British Columbia, adding to the total of 10,540 from 2015-2019. They are displaced people who enter the country as asylum seekers. Many of them are children coming along with their families.
