Syrian Refugees and Government

economic reasons: Where will the money come from to assist Syrian refugees With the recent revelation that Canada will fall short of its revised target of bringing in 10,000 Syrian refugees by the end of 2015, the government will have to bring in more than 43,000 Syrian refugees by the end of 2016 to meet its new goal, according to CBC. Refugees are selected because they need protection, not for economic reasons. While taking in Syrian refugees is the right thing to do, the government should say how much this will cost, whether processing times for other immigrants will get longer, and what their overall immigration plan is for 2016. 1. As a result, refugees do not need to meet the language, education and work experience criteria economic immigrants must meet. Refugees may also have more health problems than the average Canadian. While there are likely many refugees who are highly educated, proficient in English or French and have valuable work experience, many will need assistance in finding jobs and settling in Canada.
