family members: And more are on the way, according to Toronto Star. Alamour, who applied to come to Canada as a skilled worker, is an engineer by profession but works here as a network analyst for a telecommunications company. The 45-year-old immigrant who came to Canada from Syria in 2005 has privately sponsored 18 refugees — family members who fled their war-torn homeland — over the last two years. Married with four children, he had been saving to buy a house and had money set aside for a down payment. But when Ottawa announced in 2013 it would allow 1,300 Syrian refugees to come to Canada, Alamour stepped into action and began sponsoring family members who had fled to safety in Jordan. He never dreamed when he immigrated here that he would also be able to bring some of his and his wife relatives here.
