The now-famous company was founded by the Hadhad family, who fled their home in war-torn Damascus in 2012. They arrived in Nova Scotia with next to nothing in 2016.

Now, two years since she arrived in Toronto, scared, weak and weighing less than 80 pounds, Das, 30, wants to make Canada her permanent home.

Quebec’s immigration ministry released numbers showing the new system, known as Arrima — launched by the former Liberal government in September 2018 — is running and ready to handle applicants. And the ministry again invited candidates to take advantage of the system, including those stuck in limbo amid the 18,000 files languishing in the system (which the government wants to shred). Described as the Tinder of immigration, the online system is supposed to marry a person’s skills with an available job.
