Yasin Majd Alhomsi and Vancouver Community College

Vancouver airport: Yasin, 25, says the reality of their new surroundings began to hit home after their plane touched down on December 10, according to CTV. The first day, when we sit with my family here for the first time in a long time, it seemed unbelievable, he said. Yasin and Majd Alhomsi, Syrian brothers who reunited with their father at the Vancouver airport last month after 15 long years apart, say they feel like they woke up from a dream. It amazing. Speaking from their father home in Burnaby, where they will live, they’re also looking for jobs to show their new neighbors they will be productive members of society. Both men are already enrolled in English classes at Vancouver Community College and are committed to learning English as an important part of integration into Canadian culture.
