A recent study showed that roughly 50 percent of Syrian refugees in Canada have still been receiving government assistance five years after entering the country.
Conducted by Statistics Canada, the study showed that “42.3 percent of the 2014 cohort of government-assisted refugees aged 15 to 54 still relied on social assistance six years after landing in Canada,” per True North.
“The situation worsened for subsequent cohorts, with the 2015 arrivals, coinciding with the Liberal government’s initiation of Operation Syrian Refugee, showing a 50.4 percent reliance on social assistance after five years,” noted the outlet.
“Social assistance reliance was even higher for the 2016 cohort, while Syrian resettlement continued, with 69.5 percent of government-assisted refugees reporting reliance on social assistance four years after landing,” it added.

Huh? Aren’t you a little off track?
It surely does need maintenance, I noticed it a few years ago but Salisbury only has money for bicycle lanes.
ok, All Syrians in the USA head north now!
