'New Canadians' settle in as acceptance rate slows
On Tuesday at the UN in New York, US President Barack Obama and Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, along with several other world leaders, host a summit on refugees. Together, they hope to work towards a solution to the global crisis.
Canada has taken in about 30,000 Syrian refugees, but that acceptance rate has begun to slow.
About a third of the new arrivals have been sponsored by groups of Canadians who’ve pooled their resources to help Syrians start new lives.
Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet met some of them and reports from Toronto.
