Metropolitan United Church and Blended Visa Office

Justin Trudeau: They were sponsored jointly by the Canadian government and by the Metropolitan United Church, through the Blended Visa Office–Referred program, according to Toronto Star. Their profile, on paper, is very similar to that of the government-sponsored refugees now crowded into hotels near the airport. They came on Dec. 7, four days before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau greeted arrivals at the new refugee reception area of Pearson airport. If you have wondered who those people are, and what their stories are, meet the Bakours. Hussein Bakour and his wife, Wahida Salameh, decided to flee their home outside Damascus as they were walking back from a burial. The Star visited them over the past two months.
