The 5 phases of refugee resettlement in Canada

The Canadian government announced Thursday it will provide $75 million to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in aid for Syrian refugees, including $7.5 million that will help resettle thousands of Syrians in Canada over the next few months, the Associated Press reported.

The northern USA border as a whole is patrolled by 2,200 American agents, compared with 18,000 who monitor the U.S frontier with Mexico, Reuters reported.

Trudeau said his government has been encouraged and touched by the outpouring of support across the country for the refugees.

“Through the rest of 2016, we will bring in more … government-assisted refugees to make up the difference, so that we will have reached the number 25,000 and thereby kept our promise”, he said.

Earlier this week the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., or CBC, reported that the government’s Syrian refugee plan will only be accepting women, children and families.

“Pretty much all experts agree that out of 25,000 refugees, some of those are going to be ISIS soldiers, and they will no doubt bring destruction and death to Canadians”, McVety says.

She says she hopes to see between one-third and one-half of the 25,000 coming out of Lebanon, a country where 70 per cent of Syrians live below the poverty line.

Working closely alongside government partners as well as community resettlement agencies the Red Cross is ready to support refugees as they transition to their new communities.

Calgary-based Mainstreet Equity Corp. today offered at least 200 apartments across western Canada to house refugees at a discounted rate.

“I certainly won’t shy away from the necessary conversations to promote the kind of openness, responsibility and transparency that Canada has demonstrated”, he said.

Trudeau will then travel to Paris for a meeting with French President François Hollande to discuss the climate-change conference, Canada-European Union free-trade deal, the situation in Syria, the migration crisis in Europe, and the recent terrorist attacks in Paris that killed 130 people. Canada’s foreign minister, Stephane Dion, called his Lebanese counterpart to ask to help speed it up.
