Canada to accept additional 10,000 Syrian refugees

Immigration minister John McCallum said decision was in response to very welcomed
desire to sponsor refugees during governments initial 25,000 target
Canada will take in an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees, adding to the more than 25,000
already received in the last few months, said immigration minister John McCallum. McCallum
told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp he was responding to complaints from Canadian groups
who want to sponsor Syrian refugees but did not have their applications processed quickly
enough to be among the governments initial target of 25,000. The Liberal government won
election in October 2015 pledging to bring in more Syrian refugees more quickly than the
previous Conservative government. Private groups including church, family and community
organizations had lined up to sponsor Syrian families.
A total of 26,200 Syrian refugees had arrived in Canada as of 28 March, according to the
immigration department. But nearly 16,000 more applications are in process or have been
finalized, even though the refugees have not yet arrived, according to official figures.
