Canada has taken in 1,000 Syrian refugees this year

[European Knight]

Just 188 Syrian refugees taken in by Canada this year have been government-sponsored, despite a vow to accept 10,000 over three years.

OTTAWA—Canada has accepted just over 1,000 refugees from Syria towards its goal, pledged in January, of taking in 10,000, federal figures show.

But the vast majority of those, 857, have been privately sponsored refugees dependent on the financial support of churches, families and community organizations to start their new life in Canada.

There have been 188 government-assisted refugees accepted towards the 10,000 goal, immigration department figures show.

Immigration Minister Chris Alexander announced in January that Canada would take in an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees and 3,000 Iraqi refugees over the next three years.

That’s in addition to 1,300 Syrian refugees already settled under a pledge made in 2013.

On the election trail last month, Conservative Leader Stephen Harper said that a re-elected Conservative government would accept a further 10,000 refugees from Iraq and Syria over the next four years, on top of the previous commitments.

One of my guards who went to an anime convention witnessed 2 syrians trying to grope a girl who was coming back from the pool, a bunch of guys strangled them, the rcmp came and left when they found out it was refugees, at least some canadian men still have the stomach to stop it themselves.

Passports and papers are easily bought there, there is no vetting system, thats a fuck joke, its not like syria has a central system where you can look up peoples history, it's just questioning.

This "vetting" is a bunch of bullshit, you think a war torn shit hole has a central system like most western countries where you can look up peoples identity, finger prints, criminal history ect.
