Privately sponsored refugees will then be taken to the families awaiting them, while those sponsored by the government will be brought to temporary accommodations. "We will ensure that after their first arrival that we have transportation available and that we assist them to where they are going to be going next in their journey in Canada, but we want to make sure that their first arrival in Canada is one where they feel very welcome,'' she said. Ontario government is ready Provincial officials also said Tuesday they're getting ready to roll out the welcome mat. Many Canadians have rallied to help the incoming refugees, but those eager to greet them on arrival would do better to channel their energy into other efforts, she said.
