Syrian Refugees and Quebec Immigration

Quebec immigration: Most refugees are assisted by religious groups, aid organizations, or family, who help them find a new home in the province. Quebec immigration ministry took a moment Tuesday to thank the numerous groups who have opened their arms to the crestfallen, calling them indispensable, according to CTV. They seem very, very tired, extremely affected by what happening. Some come crying, said Mayiri Tavlian, president of the community group. We help them find apartments, rent them, furnish them, register them to the French courses and In an effort to help ease the pain for hundreds of Syrians fleeing war, Quebec is planning to significantly increase the number of refugees it welcomes to the province this year. Called the worst humanitarian crisis in decades by the United Nations, almost 200,000 Syrians have died and an estimated 9 million people have been displaced due to a violent civil war. Currently, a dozen countries are accepting Syrian refugees. Among them is Canada and Quebec is reaching out to help. I'm so happy because I'm in a safe place. Quebec saved me from war from kidnap, from killing, from a lot of bad things, said Mareen Grig, a refugee claimant who came to Montreal last December with her sister and mother. Quebec welcomed 484 Syrian refugees like Grig in 2014. Canada new commitment is 10,000 Syrian refugees over the next three years; Quebec will take in almost one quarter of those. It allowed us to bring in a lot more Syrian refugees than we could have otherwise, said Immigration Minister Kathleen Weil. One such group is the Hay Doun Family Support Services, an Armenian community centre in Outremont that took in 300 people. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
