Canadian Immigration Minister John McCallum said that his country has welcomed over 30,000 refugees from Syria in the last 10 months. In a statement to CBC News he said "I think we did very well in terms of getting them here safely and with proper health and security checks in four months. Virtually all of them, I think 100 per cent, are now in permanent housing. So that's good." Another issue for newcomers with specialized skills, including doctors and engineers, is obtaining proper accreditation in Canada. McCallum said that responsibility largely lies with the provinces, and it will be brought up at a federal-provincial meeting on the issue next year.
