Canada Teclehaimanot

easy access: But he knows only too well that many refugees from other parts of the world don’t have such easy access to Canada, according to Toronto Star. Teclehaimanot, himself an Eritrean refugee who came here in 2012, had hoped to sponsor four Eritreans to come to Canada. He is proud of his adopted homeland and the open arms it has extended to the Syrians. But his efforts have been partially stymied because of limits set up in 2012 on the numbers of refugees who can come to Canada aside from the 25,000 Syrian refugees the Liberal government has welcomed since coming to power in October. But he anticipates a long wait before that happens. So far, he has only been successful in sponsoring one Eritrean, an old friend who was in detention in Israel because his temporary permit expired but is now free until his application is processed.
