Hundreds of asylum seekers end up in Cornwall in search of a better life
Hundreds of asylum seekers hoping to start a new life in Canada are beginning the next part of their journey at the Nav Centre in Cornwall, Ont.
They’re being processed through the federal training complex in the city on the St. Lawrence River after being transferred from overflowing centres in Quebec.
Around 300 claimants, many of whom are originally from Haiti, were at the centre as of Friday afternoon. They were being brought in by white school buses adorned with a Government of Canada logo.
Many of those who were stepping off the buses were families with young children and babies.
