Canadian families can also sponsor refugee families by assisting them for the first twelve months of their initial arrival. This support includes assisting the family in dealing with the shock of coming to an entirely new place and starting a new life (Lifeline Syria). A refugee family of four requires a minimum of about $20,000 support for a year and start up costs of $7000, these start up costs are used to help them buy household items and cloth-ing (Lifeline Syria). Life Line Syria is an organization, which has been created in order to assist the Syrian Refugee resettlement in Toronto. Through them, individuals, families and groups can sponsor and support families in need. Due to this support Syrian families can gain valuable life skills and opportunities in order to thrive in the Canadian culture. As long as we as a country as-sist those in need, we will be making a difference in the world for the better and giving Syrian refugees a place to live and grow can be a very rewarding

    The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimates that nearly 4.8 million Syrian civilians have fled their homes to neighboring countries and abroad, while approximately 8.7 are predicted to be displaced within Syrian borders (UNHCR, 2016). While this may arguably be the biggest refugee crisis of our time (United Nations, 2016), the world’s wealthiest countries are slow to accept refugees into their borders. While some countries are unwilling to accept any refugees at all, some such as the United States are welcoming them in smaller…

    People fear what they do not know. Ignorance breeds intolerance. In this very moment, intolerant hands and minds are bringing about the victimization and dehumanization of a citizen of this world. In most recent news, an executive order in the United States of America was made calling for a temporary ban on visas for individuals from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia; a 120-day suspension of the resettlement of all refugees; and an indefinite ban on the resettlement of Syrian refugees. Since the onset of the Civil War in Syria, over 13 million people have been identified as refugees.…

    Thousands of refugees are in urgent need to be evacuated. Prime Minister Stephen Harper had promised to welcome more but failed to do so. I have been reading a lot about this petition and issue, and it really saddens me that the government is not really willing to accept more refugees because our Prime Minister is being so cautious about the terrorists disguised as refugees, but these refugees are just seeking a peaceful…

    The claim that refugees have a negative impact on society has been a focus of great discussion for many years, both in Canada and throughout several other countries. Almost since time began, humankind has had difficulties when the condition in their area has altered for the worse, and they have had to make difficult decisions about where they should go next, and the dilemma has never been a more glaring issue than in today's society. It is a dispute with two distinctly diverse sides. On one hand, the refugees, tormented, destitute and living in distress day and night. On the other hand, ordinary citizens, concerned about the expense of looking after the migrants.…

    The cons of granting entrance to the Syrian refugees are far greater than the pros; limited resources, assimilation of refugees, increase in terrorist attacks within the protective borders of the countries, and rise in crime level-- these cons must be addressed so that readers may understand the baggage that comes with the evacuees. As of June 2015, nearly 60 million people worldwide are currently uprooted from their homes. Millions have been displaced within Syria, and millions more have left the country altogether (Refugee Crisis, 2016). How are Europe and the United States expected to provide the necessary resources to survive such as shelter, food, water, etc.? According to Refugee Crisis (2016), “...simply do not have the resources to…

    Grant Proposal: Refugee Health Care Matters The organization, Refugee Health Care Matters (RHCM) sole purpose is to educate and assist refugees to the United States (US) in obtaining adequate and affordable health care. RHCM began in 2016 after the need for education and assistance in the area of health care became known through research. When refugees come to the US, they are sponsored through various organizations that are responsible for finding furnished housing, providing education in the English language, job interviewing, finances, transportation, mental health, and health care. These organizations are stretched thin due to limited resources, limited staff, and the need to rely on volunteers and donations to keep the organizations mandates going.…

    Not only are these children suffering from emotional and psychological trauma, they are defenseless against discrimination and potential abuse, as well as being vulnerable to human traffickers. The Syrian refugee crisis demonstrates what is happening to children, and how countries show little value to their existences. What’s happening in Syria is not a one-off.…

    “As long as I’m president we’re going to keep on stepping up and making sure America remains as it’s always been: a place where people, who in other parts of the world are subject to discrimination or violence, that they have in America a friend and a place of refuge,” President Obama declared Saturday, November 21, with relations to the Syrian crisis (Obama calls caring for refugees ‘American leadership’). A refugee is defined as a person outside his/her country of nationality who is unable or unwilling to return because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political group (http://www.immihelp.com/gc/refugee.html).

    A promise of a better future spurred my mother to pursue the case. After a year of processing our application, the federal government sponsored us. With nothing but a small suitcase filled with clothes, we arrived in Canada on November 23rd, 2003. Many assume our struggles as refugees are over once we arrive in places like Canada. They are correct in that we no longer suffer from mistreatment, but they fail to account for the barriers we face once we arrive at our new home.…

    At least half of these victims fleeing from disaster are children. The current Syrian refugee emergency represents the greatest dislocation of people in recent history. Literally, millions of men, women and their children have increasingly traversed over the Turkish, Lebanese and Jordanian borders. However, this flow of human misery has increased significantly because of the intensified battles being waged by ISIS in many areas of the Middle East. Intense hostilities in Kobani/Ayn al-Arab, near the Turkish border, compelled more than 200,000 Syrian nationals to enter into Suruc, Turkey, and 150,000 arrived at that Turkish camp in the space of only three days.…

    As they flee from war and violence, Syrian refugees are trying to find better lives in other countries, whether it is temporary or permanent. Only recently has the refugee crisis been brought to people’s attention around the world, but it has been in existence since the Arab Spring in 2011. The Arab Spring brought about rebellion against Syria’s President al-Assad’s regime and Al-Assad fought back, creating a devastating civil war. Now, 4.6 million Syrians are seeking safe havens. Syria’s neighboring countries and some European have been the more accessible asylums.…

    Syrian Refugee Crisis Essay Since the recent surface of the Syrian Civil War, many people have been fleeing Syria to other countries. One question many Americans have been asking themselves, and debating with others is whether or not that we bring in Syrian refugees. Despite debate and moral crusading, I say it would be in our best interest to not bring them into our country. It will bring a heavier burden for our country, and could have serious impacts to our society. Germany is one of the countries that is admitting Syrian refugees into its country.…
