Immigration Minister John McCallum and Canada

Syrian refugees: But whether they will be in Canada by then remains uncertain, according to Toronto Star. It certainly not guaranteed, McCallum said. Immigration Minister John McCallum said Wednesday that 10,000 Syrian refugees will be certified as Canadian permanent residents by the end of this year. There are human and weather complications that it is impossible for me to confirm with certainty. Yet, with just a week left in the year, the logistics of flying them to Canada put that goal all but out of reach. We are moving heaven and Earth to get them here as quickly as we can, he added.
