“…By the end of 2017, Canada expanded the initial intake and accepted more than 40,000 refugees (Agroam, 2021;Drolet & Moorthi, 2018;Filler et al, 2021;Hanley et al, 2018;Tuck et al, 2019;Yohani et al, 2019), while other sources indicate Canada's intake of Syrian refugees has exceeded 50,000 since 2015 (Guo et al, 2019;Hynie et al, 2019). The Canadian government prioritized the acceptance of refugees determined to be most vulnerable, including women, children, families, and members of the LGBTQ+ community (Tyyskä et al, 2017). Moreover, the Government of Canada (2019) identified that of the nearly 40,000 Syrian refugees admitted by 2016, half were above the age of 18 while 51% of all refugees were males.…”
