Immigration Minister Chris Alexander and Islamic State

Islamic State: But Ottawa is expecting private organizations such as charities and churches to pick up the tab to resettle as many as 60 per cent of the refugees, putting a question mark over just how many will be able to actually seek refuge here, according to Toronto Star. The refugees have been fleeing an ongoing civil war in Syria and more recently the advance of violent Islamic State fighters in both Syria and Iraq that have sent citizens fleeing for the lives and Canada is opening the door to 13,000 Syrian and Iraqi refugees, answering an appeal by the United Nations to help victims displaced by war and Islamic extremists in the region. Immigration Minister Chris Alexander announced Wednesday that Canada would accept an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees over three years and 3,000 Iraqi refugees by the end of 2015.
