Syrian Families: Children Omar and Chocolate-Making Business

syrian families: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shared their success at a speech to the United Nations in October, according to CBC. While the family thrived in their new home and opened a chocolate-making business, emotionally the parents struggled with the choice they had to make to come to Canada: leave behind one of their adult daughters and her two children. The Hadhad family moved to Antigonish in January, and since then they've become one of the most well-known Syrian families in the country. Batoul Hadhad can't believe her sister is finally moving to Antigonish. @carolynraycbc Alaa Hadhad and her children Omar and Sana have been living in hiding since her family left for Canada. Because his whereabouts are unknown, Alaa Hadhad was an unregistered refugee, her brother Tareq said, making her case far more complicated as she sought to come to Canada. Her husband was arrested nearly three years ago in Syria and the family hasn't heard from him since. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
