"Welcome to your new home:" Justin Trudeau greets Syrian refugees arriving in Canada
They're heeeeeeeere! The first large group of Syrian refugees finally arrived in Canada by government aircraft at Toronto Pearson International airport late Thursday night and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the ministers of immigration, health and defence, as well as Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, were all on hand to greet them. We've added a few videos capturing the moment. Welcome to Canada!...
All of the Syrians on board are sponsored by private groups, many of whom had filed the necessary paperwork months ago in order to bring in some of the estimated 4.3 million Syrians displaced by the ongoing civil war in that country.
More than 400 refugees have already arrived on commercial flights since the Liberals took office on Nov. 4.
