Southeast Asian refugee resettlement expands

1979–1980 · Dating precision: range

Canada resettled more than 60,000 refugees from Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam in 1979–1980; approximately half arrived through private sponsorship.

Not publication-ready. Many journeys included intermediate countries. A direct origin-to-Canada relationship is not the actual route, and the movement continued outside this selected window.
