Talks are underway with Canada’s military so it may help speed efforts to bring more Syrian refugees to Canada, reports Canadian Press (CP). The immigration minister says, extra staff will be sent overseas this month to help, as they did during the recent effort to bring in 25,000 Syrians by the end of February 2016.
Some refugees are sponsored by the government and some by private groups and individuals. Private sponsors have complained of delays in the processing of their cases. In some instances, homes have been rented for refugees who have not yet arrived, resulting in a waste of money.
The government has promised it will process all of the applications that were received by end of March. That should result in the admission of an additional 10,000 people.
