Officials say Afghans who previously worked as interpreters for Western military forces and news agencies will eventually resettled in B-C, Ontario and Alberta.
Federal officials say the military’s special forces are operating outside the closed confines of Kabul’s chaotic airport to get people on flights out of Afghanistan.
The officials would not provide more details, citing the sensitivity of the security situation, but say they’re having success in getting more Afghans to safety.
They say a Canadian C-17 Globe master carried 436 people out of Kabul airport on Sunday night, including Canadian citizens and family members, as well as Afghan nationals accepted for resettlement by Canada and its allies up from 121 people airlifted a day earlier.
