© UNHCR / Qaisar Khan Afridi Saifur, 11, and Shamsur, 13, are brothers, students and cricketers who were born and grew up in Surkhab refugee village in Balochistan, Pakistan. Saifur wants to become an engineer, while Shamsur hopes to become a cardiologist. Their family is from the Khost province in Afghanistan. Both brothers have mixed feelings about their move to Afghanistan; they will miss Pakistan, but they are also excited to see their own country for the first time. data on naturalized refugees are usually uneven and incomplete. In instances where refugees acquired citizenship through naturalization, statistical data are often limited, as countries may not distinguish between the naturalization of refugees and that of non-refugees. Thus, many gaps and challenges exist in measuring local integration by the number of naturalized refugees, and the reported number of naturalized refugees in a given period is not a true reflection of local integration. During 2015, 28 countries reported at least one naturalized refugee, two countries more than the previous year Figure 11 . The total number of naturalized refugees stood at 32,000 during 2015, compared to 32,100 reported in 2014. As in the previous year, Canada reported the largest number of naturalized refugees in 2015, with 25,900. This represents approximately 81 per cent of all naturalized refugees reported during the year. Other countries that reported large numbers of naturalized refugees included France (2,500), Belgium (1,700), and Austria (1,000). ● UNHCR Global Trends 2015 27
