From the link:

However, the Canadian Council for Refugees says that most resettled refugees end up in debt because they are expected to repay the cost of their transportation to Canada and other related expenses – with interest. The council says that more than 90 per cent of refugees repay their loans.

That was the tale also told to me by my folks who came over as refugees. They had to pay back every cent that it cost to bring them over. The were sponsored by a forestry company and the cost for their accommodations came right out of his pay, and the rest of the pay went to the government to pay Canada back.

I didn't realize that it was still like that though because you never hear about it.
