Victor Manuel, a young asylum seeker from Mexico, arrived at Montreal’s St-Donat school on a frigid morning last week with his seven-year-old son and baby boy, whose bootless feet were covered only in socks.
“The school has made accessible the process of getting my child to learn,” Manuel said in Spanish, adding that he arrived in Canada in November. The federal government says about 51,340 asylum seekers arrived in Quebec in 2022, compared to 7,290 would-be refugees who entered the country through the province in 2021.
But a child’s first week is difficult, she said, adding new students are often anxious and don’t talk much.
