What are the estimates you have seen for the cost?
If its like $150K/refugee for the 25K Refugees Canada is looking at ~$4B
Considering the annual expenditures for the Gov in 2014 were $290B we are talking about 1.4% of the budget.
Note that Canada's military expenditure for the war in Iraq and Syria is expected to cost $0.5B for one year. Cost for new F35 were estimated at $56 Billion.
Nothing is cheap
