Asterixm, I don't understand your point, given your previous posting.
    
I expect the majority of Syrian sponsored immigrants like Mr Nabel  Alali, his  family, and others like them  will be Canadian citizens within a couple of years.  They will contribute to Canadian society and be tax payers, contributing to CPP, Medicare and helping to ensure that your Old Age Pension is available when you reach retirement.  

 Look back on previous sponsored immigrants or refugees and see how they have fared:  those leaving Europe after the Second World War, the Hungarians arriving around 1956,  and the Vietnamese and see how they have contributed to our Country.
