Syrian Refugees and Music Teacher

taxi driver: Among the refugees –- all of whom were privately sponsored -- are a music teacher, a pharmacist, a taxi driver, a trained violinist and a little girl excited for English classes, according to CTV. And several newcomers say they already have their sights set on new jobs, school for their children and post-secondary aspirations. More than half of the first group of Syrian refugees are Armenian Christians who had been living in Syria, but were forced to flee after war broke out. One of those refugees is a pharmacist who plans to get his qualifications so he can work in Canada. The couple has already planned to put their five-year-old son in school as soon as possible. First of all surely we have to find a job, and then I'm thinking to study," his wife told CTV News Friday morning. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
