Foundation of Greater Montreal and Family

: That is not a small obstacle, according to CTV. In our W5 profile of the Al Moulia family who arrived in Canada six months ago, access to classes teaching English turned out to be the greatest obstacle to their integration. In a speech to the Foundation of Greater Montreal on Wednesday, McCallum said he believes there are many companies looking for the kind of skilled labour some Syrians possess, it just a matter of them getting language training first. The eldest son, Hani, taught himself the language during the family three years living in a refugee camp in Lebanon Bekaa Valley. His father, Mohammad, was busy helping other men build the tents which housed Syrian families in the Camp, so he didn’t have the time to absorb a new language through computers and smartphones as his son did. He is a brilliant scholar, once one of Syria most promising students in physics and mathematics, so his ability to absorb English is superior to most. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
