Syrian Community: Immigrant Settlement and Integration Services

Immigrant Settlement and Integration Services: Canadas Syrian community must surely be disappointed with Ottawas muted response to the refugee crisis in Syria and in neighbouring Jordan and Lebanon, according to The Chronicle Herald. ISIS has already found three local Syrian families with relatives in the camps and hopes to find more and Ottawa told immigration sponsors across the country on Thursday that it will admit 100 of the more than 1.6 million people who have fled Syrias civil war, a number that seems underwhelming at best. Gerry Mills of Immigrant Settlement and Integration Services in Halifax said the 100 must come from refugee camps in Lebanon or Jordan. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
