Malala also had praise for the Great White North, saying, “The people of Canada are leading the world in their response to the refugee crisis. I am honored by Parliament's invitation and look forward to visiting this great nation of heroes.”
Canada and Malala have been at the forefront of efforts to assist Syrian refugees. While its neighbor to the south (ahem) has tried its best to keep Syrian refugees out, Canada has embraced them, even as there are still plenty of challenges facing the program.
Meanwhile, Malala's efforts have included helping to fund the Malala Yousafzai All-Girls School which provides education for Syrian refugee girls in Lebanon.
According to the Prime Minister's office, Malala will join an exclusive list of five others who have received an honorary Canadian citizenship: Raoul Wallenberg, Nelson Mandela, the 14th Dalai Lama, Aung San Suu Kyi, and the Aga Khan.
