Only Canada charges refugees interest on travel loans: advocates
Freedom is not free....
The report says the average loan is about $3,090.
The loans cover three things: the cost of travel to Canada; medical exams for admission into Canada; and costs associated with getting settled in the country, such as deposits for rent and hydro. Refugees are expected to start repaying within 30 days, and the department begins charging interest after 12 months.
