    Syrian refugees in Canada: four years after
    Four years ago, Canada invited Syrian refugees escaping the civil war into the country. The overall outcomes of Syrian refugees’ resettlement and integration experiences are positive, showing good trends in terms of their accommodation and adaptation to life in Canada and participation in society. Between November 2015 and February 2016, 26,172 Syrian refugees were resettled in Canada within only 118 days. Almost all of the government-assisted refugees from Syria attended orientation services and information workshops. Little less than 80% of them took government-funded English and French classes. By 2018, over 90% of Syrian refugees indicated they were able to communicate in the official languages on a daily basis.
