I'm on the board of a Canadian refugee resettlement group. On Vancouver Island. We just received notification that our sponsored family, who fled Mosul, will be arriving this summer. We're well aware of the 13th month issue but we are working to ensure that they will be on their feet by that time. It's a risky endeavor, we have been well trained to prepare for as many eventualities as we can, and I think we are going into it with open eyes. It just seems the right thing to do and i am pleased Canada allows private sponsors. Of yeah, my mom was a refugee from communist Chinaand her parents were refugees from Russia. I figure i gotta pay it forward.
