While Europe, confronted with an unprecedented migrant crisis, is monitoring its borders, Canada is organising the biggest airlift in its history.
 

25,000 Syrian refugees have been welcomed in less than 3 months. The system of private sponsorship, a legacy of the 1970s, calls on the generosity of individuals. Canadians can sponsor refugees themselves. For one year, without any social assistance, they commit to finding them a home, enrolling their children in school and meeting the families’ needs.

Throughout Canada, the number of initiatives is growing. Multiculturalism, which is enshrined in the constitution, is taking on its full meaning.
