Thair Hafez and Canada

Canada: Thair Hafez, a small business owner, came to Canada from Syria in the mid 1980s. He desperately wants to bring aunts and uncles here and he adds he and his brothers have the money to support them. , according to CBC. Refugee advocates say the federal government needs to do what it has done in the past: grant temporary resident permits to Syrians with relatives in Canada. This was the method used by the Canadian government to help reunite families from the former Yugoslavia, Haiti and most recently, Iraq. An Ottawa man says he wants better solutions when it comes to getting his relatives out of Syria and into the safety of Canada than relying on the refugee process. The majority of them are still in Damascus, and they have no way out right now. If I have the opportunity I would love to do it and sponsor as many as I can, said Hafez. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
