Timeline

Ahmed Hussen (Axmed Xuseen; born 1976) is a Canadian lawyer and politician who has been serving as the Minister of International Development since July 26, 2023.

1994

He initially resided with a cousin in Hamilton, and moved to Toronto in 1994, where he settled in Regent Park in 1996.

Hussen completed secondary school in Hamilton.

Due to a Canadian government policy that delayed granting permanent residency status to emigrants from Somalia, he had to decline three athletic running scholarships to universities in the United States.

2001

Hussen began his career in public service and politics in the fall of 2001.

He started out doing volunteer work in Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

He was hired the following year as an assistant to Ontario Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty, then-leader of the province's Official Opposition.

2002

Hussen eventually attended York University, where he earned a BA in History in 2002.

2003

Hussen was promoted to special assistant, concurrent with McGuinty's 2003 election as the premier of Ontario.

He held this new post for two years, during which he was in charge of issues management, policy and communications.

Hussen later worked with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's Youth Engaged in National Security Issues committee.

He also founded the Regent Park Community Council.

The representative body facilitated a $500 million revitalization and redevelopment project in Regent Park, the largest such initiative in the country.

During the project's implementation, he was tasked with consulting with and protecting the interests of over 15,000 residents.

Hussen currently serves as the national president of the Canadian Somali Congress (CSC).

Under his leadership, the CSC partnered with the Canadian International Peace Project and Canadian Jewish Congress to establish the Canadian Somali-Jewish Mentorship Project.

It is the first national mentoring and development project between a sizable Muslim community and the Jewish community.

2005

Established in 2005, the panel brought together prominent members from a number of Canada's cultural communities and government officials in order to discuss policy and program issues, and to promote dialogue and strengthen understanding between the national authorities and its electorate.

2010

In May 2010, the Canadian Somali Congress and Canadian International Peace Project also partnered with the Global Enrichment Foundation to launch the Somali Women Scholarship Program.

Hussen acts as the program's founding director.

2012

Having received a law degree from the University of Ottawa, and passed the bar exam in September 2012, he specialized in the practice of immigration and criminal law.

Hussen is married to Ebyan Farah, a fellow Somali-Canadian refugee.

Together, they have three sons.

Until 2012, Hussen served as a sitting member of the Harper government's Cross-Cultural Roundtable on Security.

2014

In December 2014, Hussen presented himself as a candidate for a Liberal Party of Canada seat in the riding of York South—Weston for the 42nd Canadian federal election.

He won the nomination in a field of six aspirants.

The victory makes Hussen the first Somali-Canadian elected to the House of Commons.

2015

A member of the Liberal Party, Hussen has also sat as the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Toronto-area the riding of York South—Weston since the 2015 federal election.

He previously served as the Minister of Housing, Diversity and Inclusion from 2021 to 2023, Minister of families, children and social development from 2019 to 2021 and the minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship from 2017 to 2019.

He is the first Somali-Canadian to be elected to the House of Commons and the first to hold a federal Cabinet position.

Hussen was born and raised in Mogadishu, Somalia.

He has five older siblings and his father was a long-distance trucker.

Hussen learned to speak English there from a cousin.

He and his family left Mogadishu after the Somali Civil War reached their neighbourhood.

He described his experience in the civil war: "I was 15 years old when Somalia was going through a civil war. There were chaos and violence everywhere. My parents and I decided that we had no choice but to flee. We gathered a few belongings, got on the back of a big truck with a few other families, left Somalia never to return".

They lived for a period of time in Kenya, in a camp in Mombasa and several apartments in Nairobi.

Two years after leaving Mogadishu, Hussen moved to Canada as a refugee, when his parents bought him an airplane ticket to Toronto, where two of his brothers had already moved.

2017

On January 10, 2017, Hussen was appointed minister of immigration as part of a Cabinet shuffle by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The nomination makes Hussen the first Somali-Canadian to serve in the government cabinet.

As immigration minister, Hussen announced on 2017 the Government of Canada will welcome nearly one million immigrants over the next three years.
