United Nations and Immigration Refugee Board

Peter Showler: Some of the refugees will have gone through medical and security screening by the United Nations, and others will be screened on military bases once they arrive in Canada, according to the sources, according to CTV. Cities and provinces will help with accommodations, they said. Sources told CTV Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife that the plan to take in the full 25,000 will be rolled out as early as next week. Peter Showler, a former chair of the Immigration and Refugee Board, said preparing military bases and lining up accommodations in municipal locations will take longer than the several weeks left in 2015. They can do it, let me be clear, it just going to take time. It going to take three or four months in order to efficiently distribute those refugees into communities across Canada, Showler told CTV Canada AM Thursday from Ottawa. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
