Syrian Couple: Syrian Family

syrian couple: The Tri-Church Syrian Refugee Sponsorship Committee now faces a difficult decision -- continue holding out hope that the family will eventually arrive in Toronto, or sponsor a different Syrian family instead, according to CTV. That the stumbling block for us, Wes Denyer, the minister of the Rosedale Presbyterian Church, which is part of the committee, told CTVNews.ca. Months have passed, and the Syrian couple with two young children are still in Jordan. A number of sponsorship groups are facing similar dilemmas, due to delays in the processing of Syrian refugees under the Blended Visa Office-Referred, or BVOR, program. Denyer said the Tri-Church committee applied to sponsor a Syrian refugee family late last year, and learned of a match in January. The program matches refugees identified by the United Nations Refugee Agency with private sponsors in Canada, who split the costs of supporting a family with the federal government.
