Syrian Refugees to be given TEMPORARY permits initially

[EFK]

http://www.macleans.ca/politics/ottawa/un-says-syrian-refugees-will-be-processed-in-canada/

Finally some information on what they plan to do... 25,000 refugees to enter the country with temporary permits..
Once they enter the country, they will process their PRs...

I think this is better for security purposes, while helping the refugees to a safe place... and shouldn't (hopefully) affect immigration applications as much as if they were giving them all PRs directly..

Any views on this?

Yet CIC has to do security checks before issuing temporary residency permit. And again issuing temporary residency permit is CIC job, so it's likely to affect immigration applications.

Not only security/background checks, they will have to do medicals as well (within canada) i guess.

An excerpt:

5.14. Processing priorities
While Regulations do not establish processing priorities,operational priorities may be established.
Departmental policy requires that applications in the family class for spouses, common-law and conjugal partners, and dependent children be finalized within six months. Section 5.7 of OP 2 lists exceptional circumstances that could result in visa offices legitimately not meeting these service standards.
Refugee applications classified as urgent or vulnerable should also receive priority processing. OP 5 provides definitions and instructions on processing urgent and vulnerable refugee applications.
In the event of a disaster, visa offices are reminded to continue to pull the applications of affected persons to the front of the queue for review, and advise the appropriate Geographic Desk, International Region of the situation. Given the variety of situations which can occur as a result of any disaster, it remains the applicant or sponsor’s responsibility to demonstrate that they are negatively affected by the situation.

I find it idiotic when people say they will do background check and verifications...Do you have any idea how this refugee have left their homes and countries...They dont have sufficient documents..many dont have passports too....So stop speculating..I stay in europe and I know they just come with clothes, money and little food...thats it...no documents or any proof.

Which doesn't mean/doesn't imply the securities checks will be bypassed.

Agree and like to add : when we are talking about securities, we can't add personal feelings in that cuisine.

Exactly, it's a fallacy of appeal to emotion.
Even in Europe, there are many refugee applications that are getting refused. Those refusals are generally based on lack of evidence that refugee status should be granted. Unfortunately, there would be many cases of people trying to take advantage of the situation, and I am sure CIC has some sort of criteria to weed out those applications.

either way there is lot of pressure on CIC . Lets see how this all works out. Now think of it earlier government was better for us atleast there was some regularity. Hope there is a draw tomorrow

No one is speculating here. If you read the article and watch the interview from CBC, you will know that they will have to do background check and health inspection on every applications. Canadians certainly don't want to bring any terrorists or new diseases to their country.

Yes, but if the medical exam is to be conducted IN Canada, what safeguards will they have in place?

Will it be similar to the Ebola screening tents and full body protection for the medical teams that were being broadcast all over the news channels earlier this year?

Should they assume that a person is infected with something, until their examination proves otherwise...especially for people that are on Canadian soil?

Soooo many pieces to this puzzle!

I hope they'll conduct medical exam out of Canada.
