We have the Syrian refugee issue all wrong. They are not immigrants, they are refugees. In other words, they are in our country not because we need them but because they need us. Immigrants are selected on the basis of their compatibility with the Canadian society and Canadian job market. Refugees are here so that we could fulfill out international assistance responsibility. The Liberal Federal Gvt decided to blurr the lines between both categories in giving Syrians the status of landed immigrants. This was not necessary and this was not right. Syrian refugees should be kept safe and warm in camps and then sent back to Syria when safety will improve. I am not surprised to read that only 17% have a job after a year here. In Germany out of nealy one million migrants only 33,000 found a job this year, as an analogy.
