Baddeck Committee: Months and Mac Donald

baddeck committee: Committee member Jennifer Mac Donald said the family's application was processed in July 2016, and the committee was initially led to believe it would be another 13 to 19 months until they were approved to enter Canada, according to CBC. Then in April, the federal government told the group it would be another 19 months, she said. But members of the Syria to Baddeck committee now feel they've let down their supporters and misled the refugees they promised to sponsor, as federal government delays stall prospects the family will soon be able to travel to Canada and settle in Baddeck. Now, we have to go back to this family who's been hanging on in Jordan and tell them that it's going to be another 19 months, Mac Donald said. The mother, father and four children were living as refugees in Jordan, where the father was able to make a little money under the table. They are living in dire straits' Mac Donald said the committee had chosen the family with the help of the Syrian community in Halifax. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
