Government and Job Interview

: A great story, repeated often over the last three months here and elsewhere, according to The Chronicle Herald. The surge of refugees mostly arrived on government-chartered aircraft, which began in December and concluded at the end of February. Housing had already been found and outfitted, plans made for the children schooling and a job interview scheduled for the father, an engineer. By that time Canada had received more than 25,000 since Nov. 4, of which one-third were privately sponsored. The number of privately sponsored refugees will likely reach 10,000. Now, on a slower pace, the government expects to get to its original goal of 25,000 government-assisted refugees by the end of 2016. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
