B - B - but they were all layers and engineers and stuff !
$1:
How much education they have is unclear: The analysis says anecdotal reports suggest the average level of schooling for adult Syrian government- assisted refugees is six to nine years. Of cases coming from Jordan, 90 to 95 per cent have not finished high school. The report notes that many kids are also a year or two behind their peers, putting new demands on the school system.
Readers may remember the discussion Caleb and I had about that.....
$1:
— They’re younger: 55 per cent of approved applicants were 14 years of age or younger, compared with 27 per cent of privately sponsored ones. The report notes that services directly targeted at children will need to be stepped up and the report notes they’ve often only gone to school in Arabic.
Ya, you might want to check that, Justine.
The Euro governments are finding out the hard way how much people like to lie.
$1:
— They speak little English or French: 67 per cent of approved applicants reporting speaking neither language, compared with 37 per cent of privately sponsored ones. Resettlement agencies have previously highlighted that in some cities, wait lists for language training are over a year long.
b - but they all spoke English on the TV !
Guess a language test as a condition of entering would have reduced the 25k to zero.

We, the Canadian public were totally scammed by those photo-op, first wave refugees Justin and the state run media tried to sell us as typical.
Those had been vetted by the previous government and were privately sponsored.
These following waves are "vetted" only by the Turks if at all. They are more government sponsored, and are not photo-op, media darling refugees like the first wavers were. The CBC doesn't have its cameras at the airport for these guys.
Who knows who these next wave refugees are? Perhaps some of those 25 year old, "teenagers" we've been seeing rapefugeeing their way through Europe.

Paid for by our new Prime Minister, Mr. Selfie.
Planes, housing, food, clothes, all of it.
