Vancouver Sun – Why B.C. Won’t See Many Syrians This Year
The reason B.C. will get so few is the first group of refugees will be mostly privately sponsored, meaning community groups have raised the money and recruited the volunteers to support them for all or part of their first year in Canada. The group can choose the individual or family they would like to sponsor, and quite often the people chosen are family members of refugees already here. Most of the nearly 41,000 Syrians in Canada live in Quebec (44 per cent, or 18,000) and Ontario (39 per cent, or 16,000), according to a Syrian population profile produced by the federal immigration ministry earlier this month, which cited the 2011 National Household Survey.
Observer l’immigration dans la courte durée, mois par mois, est l’assurance de ne rien voir et de n’en rien comprendre, estime Pierre Anctil, professeur d’histoire à l’Université d’Ottawa, spécialiste de ces questions. « Sur l’échelle historique, on voit qu’on a relativement bien réussi l’intégration des immigrants. Il faut reporter notre regard sur une longue période pour bien cerner ce qui se passe. »
La Presse – Accueil massif de réfugiés : « il n’y a rien à craindre », dit l’ambassadrice du Canada au Liban
L’ambassadrice du Canada au Liban, Michelle Cameron, affirme qu’aucun djihadiste ne se glissera parmi les réfugiés syriens qui seront accueillis au Canada. J’ai totalement confiance. Le risque est théorique. Depuis les attaques de Paris, la perception a changé, mais le risque réel est resté le même. Est-ce qu’un terroriste va se chercher un réfugié qui s’est installé au Liban en espérant que le Canada le sélectionne?
National Post – Resettle Refugees Directly, Rights Official Urges, as Six Children Drown in Attempted Crossing to Greece
A top European human rights official called Friday for refugees to be resettled in Europe directly from camps near conflicts zones to prevent them from enduring long and dangerous journeys that are unnecessary anyway.Nils Muiznieks, human rights commissioner for the Council of Europe, said that since 99 per cent of Syrian refugees and about two-thirds of those from Afghanistan are granted international protects in Europe anyway, it was a “chaotic and inefficient policy” to make them take long journeys by land and sea while relying on human traffickers.
CTV News – How Canada’s Private Refugee Sponsorship Program Works
The private sponsorship program relies on both major organizations and smaller groups to take responsibility for refugees entering the country. Private sponsors are involved at every step of the process, from filling out initial paperwork, maintaining contact with the refugee family before their arrival, coaching them through the screening process and providing for them for the first several months of their time in Canada.
