Immigration Partnership: Refugees and Tara Bedard

immigration partnership: About 1,800 refugees have arrived in Waterloo Region since 2015, according to CTV. Most of them are Syrian. Month 13 is the time when government-sponsored refugees' benefits run out leaving them in need of either employment or welfare. Many of them have been here for longer than a year, meaning they have crossed the Month 13 threshold. It is believed that about half of all Syrian refugees in Canada have found employment. I think the transition has been fairly smooth, says Tara Bedard, director of Immigration Partnership. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
