A briefing on the plan held on Tuesday afternoon also walked through an aggressive security screening process, no doubt meant to dissuade such fears, which have led to a political dogfight south of the border, between the White House and the states.
In order to qualify to be resettled in Canada, the would-be refugee needs to be a Syrian citizen — or a former citizen — living in Turkey, Lebanon, or Jordan. From there, they will need to qualify for refugee status from, and be screened by, the United Nations High Commission on Refugees.
From there, the Canadian officials will contact prospective refugees via text message to invite them to apply. If they want to resettle to Canada, they will go through interviews with visa officers, be submitted to health and identity tests, and face a round of biometric checks before being put on a flight.
Upon landing in Canada, the refugees will go through one more round of security checks and health tests, before being dispatched to their new home.
