Toronto Star – Syrian Refugee Delay a “Relief”
Already, some 2,900 people have been picked and are being processed to come to 13 cities across the province starting in the coming days. But Quebec is also prepared to do more if required by the federal government and if the financial resources are made available, said Pierre Moreau, Quebec’s municipal affairs and acting public safety minister. While Quebec is probably the most advanced among the provinces in its plans for bringing in refugees, the provincial government said it welcomed Ottawa’s new February 2016 deadline to meet its target of 25,000 refugees.
There may still be some uncertainty about the federal government’s plan to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada but for the parish community of St. Mark’s Anglican church in St. John’s there’s no doubt. Rev. Mark Nichols said the parish has the green light to sponsor a Syrian refugee family.
Ottawa Citizen – Montreal, Toronto set to Take Bulk of First Syrian Refugee Wave
Documents obtained by Postmedia News show that as of Nov. 19, Citizenship and Immigration Canada had nearly 9,500 Syrian refugee applications in the queue. Of those, about 7,700 were applications from private sponsors such as families and church groups. The government had sponsored most of the other 1,800. […] The Montreal area, which is already home to Canada’s largest Syrian-Canadian population, is set to welcome by far the largest number of refugees.
Manitoba is to take 2,000 of the 25,000 Syrian refugees that the federal government plans to bring to Canada. Where they will live? Will there be jobs for them? Will they stay? Manitoba’s economy relies on immigration. With the ongoing annual outflow of the young, professionals and well-heeled retirees to other provinces, without a constant annual flow of thousands of immigrants to Manitoba our population would plateau and could decline. No population growth would result in a declining economy and less federal transfers.
The Globe and Mail – Experienced IOM Likely to Assist Ottawa in Transporting Syrian Refugees
At the heart of the debate surrounding the federal government’s accelerated resettlement plan for refugees is a question of logistics: How to transport thousands of Syrian refugees across the world in two months, while guaranteeing their safety and the integrity of the process that granted them asylum. At first, the task seems far-fetched, if not impossible. But in reality, the plan is not an implausible feat for the International Organization for Migration, the body charged with carrying out the logistical operations for departing Syrian refugees. The IOM has been facilitating the transport of resettled Syrian refugees from Lebanon since 2013, initially for the German government.
CBC – Syrian Refugees: P.E.I. to Take in 100 Refugees by End of the Year
The Island is gearing up to accept 100 Syrian refugees by the end of the year, with another 150 coming in the new year, Workforce and Advanced Learning Minister Richard Brown announced this morning. Those 100 individuals are now being processed to come to P.E.I., said Dan Doran, refugee sponsorship co-ordinator with the Catholic Diocese of Prince Edward Island. Most of the refugees will likely settle in Charlottetown and Summerside, but other communities will also welcome families, he said.
