Canada's Response to the Refugees
Since the start of the Syrian uprising in March of 2011, Canada has worked to support the Syrian people.As millions of Syrians continue to be displaced due to conflict in their home country, the Government of Canada will work with Canadians, including private sponsors, non-governmental organizations, provincial, territorial, and municipal governments to welcome 25,000 Syrian refugees.
The government’s commitment to bringing in Syrian refugees will continue in 2016. Given that the current initiative includes privately sponsored refugees, more government-assisted refugees (GARs) will be resettled to meet a specific target of 25,000 GARs.
Windsor will be welcoming between 300 to 1000 refugees!
