Immigrant Services and Mario Calla

Toronto city: I believe that it will really gear up very quickly over the next five to 10 days, because now it looks like the visas are coming through, the planes are coming, according to Toronto Star. We expect it to ramp up very quickly. They’re starting to arrive, Mario Calla, of COSTI Immigrant Services, told the Star on Friday. Toronto city staff are predicting that 2,000 to 2,500 refugees fleeing Syria brutal civil war will settle in the GTA between now and the end of March. We’re lucky in Toronto because of the services available. Arrivals before January are expected to be primarily sponsored by private individuals and groups, with most of the federal government-sponsored newcomers arriving in the New Year.
