I think it's important to post this link again, credit to undercoverbrother.

It tells us that when the conflict first started, Canadian/UN officials already began the process 3 or 4 years ago. Canada's government has a pretty good handle of the people currently living in camps who are low risk and could potentially benefit the Canadian economy.
I was apprehensive about the whole 25k in six weeks timeline too because I believe an ISIS terrorist or two could easily just be another face in the crowd. What this link tells me is the due diligence has been done, and it's just a matter of bringing these folks over and finalizing the screening. Do I think this was a political move by Trudeau? Yes, but if it benefits suffering people, well it's a good thing then. Again, if the homework was done (which it appears it has been) then bring them over and settle them in. If Canada "can't afford" to do it, then by golly who the #### can?

"There's a vast difference between the outpouring of 700,000 refugees pouring into Europe with no security screens, and the kind of security screens that are in place for every refugee that is resettled from the Middle East," he told CTV's Canada AM.

"This operation will be done without compromising security," he added.
First, the UNHCR has already triaged the refugees and assessed those that would make ideal candidates for re-settlement, he said, noting that less than five per cent of asylum seekers make that initial cut. For these candidates, there is additional security screening so that UN officials can learn their stories, he added.
He added that, when the Syrian civil war began four years ago, the first refugee flows out of Syria were people who were primarily secular, politically active and pro-democratic.
"They've now been in the neighbouring countries as refugees for four years," he said. "We know who those people are.
"So it's actually quite easy to identify 25,000 that fit into extremely low-risk security categories."

This assures me that the refugees that will be coming over are low-risk. Will there be crime? Likely. There's crime in every demographic of Canadian society. Terrorism from the resettled refugees? Not very likely at all.
