I saw their “a year after in Canada” video and I am so happy with how far they’ve come. This got me teary🥺
Same. We could use good people like this In Canada
I wish them well. God bless
@@royalloyalty8248 i know them personally, and they are doing well
@@jargaplayz8909 I'm sure the welfare they receive keeps them not working and actually being apart of the community.
@@danmc8084 they do work, and are a part of the community.
anyone else liking how the subtitles were done?
Yes! Very interactive!
Yes
Very much. They were large and bold enough to be easy to see. And positioning them near the person talking makes it easier to follow the action while reading.
I wish others would do this.
Yes I appreciate the subtitles.

God Bless this beautiful family!❤️🤗
I cried in every one of the videos about them. I care about these families and I hope they can feel belonging in Canada and experience success.
I could not even image how it feels to leave your home and start a new life in a different country.
I hope they will achieve their goals! Good luck ❤️
I've watched the family's follow up videos first and I truly hope they feel welcome in Canada.
They've really been starting from scratch, I admire their courage.
We've many Syrian refugees here in Austria/Europe as well, so I'm a bit familiar with their daily struggles.
Unfortunately I've also met one refugee from Nigeria, who's been denied refugee status so far; no more appeals and so I'm worried about his future.
@786 Channel
Lol, no. I'm 30 years older.
@786 Channel
"We" don't have this type of relationship at all and I'm not here to secure someone's Austrian citizenship. I'm 100% not willing to complicate my life.
@786 Channel
Look, I like trolling and kidding a lot, so I'm not angry you're doing it.
Worrying about someone doesn't mean marrying, otherwise I would have to be married to many people all at the same time - males as well as females alike.
I wouldn't do him a huge favour with my own drug rap sheet anyways, as the main reason, Nigerians don't get Austrian citizenship is, lots of them have come here to sell stuff in the past - so my rap sheet would throw shade on him, he doesn't have so far.
(I've translated his law related files for him, so I'd highly likely know).
If that's hypocrisy to you, so be it!
@̐ what are you talking about ? There is a war in their country how can they build it
Something about the kids cleaning their shoes to make the best impression hits me. I hope all refugees of war torn countries can come to Canada and be welcomed. My neighbors are immigrants, great people. Gave us a card on Christmas thanking us for being good neighbors. I cut their lawn for free and helped them build their fence. They insisted on paying but I don't need money from them. And they got about 4 kids, this little one who always says hi to me every time I go outside, she's so cute.
Wow I remember when my teacher showed us this video back in grade 2 or 3 and I can’t remember which one but one of them were in my class. I remember him being pretty good at soccer and he would bring he’s soccer medals to school.
Do you know where he is now?
their smiles mean the world to me
and to me!
nepali hercules thanks for the comment though its abusive
nepali hercules I like it
Alev Orgiy still I'm happy with it as long as my Muslim brothers and sisters are safe

Having viewed the more recent account of these dear souls it is very apparent that a Syrian heart and a Canadian heart beat in unison!
As a father and grandfather my own welfare is not a barrier (certainly not language) for making a better life for my children and grand children.
And when the father of these people saw the plight of the people in Ft. MacMurray his very 1st response was to go fight the fire! That my friends is a heart that mirrors the Canadian heart and that makes him a Canadian of the heart!!
What a lovely honest hardworking family, lovely to see they're happy & healthy in Canada now.
I really want to see how this beautiful family is doing now 🥺💘
they are doing well
I love how this father wanted to do this for his children's future. 😭
I’m so happy for them same thing happened to my family with 7 children
french and canadian borning 1 or 2 to children if you can not feed dont born many children why they must feed you children
Love, love, love this reporter.
Many thanks for sharing this VDO. Great job! Love this and love all people who are related with this VDO production and uploading
Love this family . God bless
I cried too! So happy for them! I'm going to Canada next month after 5 years of waiting so I can understand how happy they were
How are you doing? Did you get here? How is it going?
Did you come to Canada? Are you okay?
Yes I am in Canada and doing good thank you for asking
Hello from Canada
I am very happy for them, and hope they can build a good life here.
How is his olive tree plantation doing?
The olives trees are fantastic this is my family in this clip
God bless Canada! I hope this beautiful family enjoy their life in their new home. And this documentary is a reflection of many people's history here in Canada, we all have a similar story when we immigrate to this beautiful country.
This story made me feel so good. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for Huda to leave her mother, sister and other family members behind and how tough for the children to leave friends and for all of them to learn a new language, make new friends and begin a new life. I hope that I will find Syrian families near my own home in the U.S. soon. I welcome them with open arms. :) Good luck to this lovely family!
They shouldn't be here. That they are leaving friends and family shows that they are not refugees fleeing for their lives, but people in Canada taking from the taxpayers because they want a better life. Western taxpayers should not have to pay the bill for such people. As an aside, I'm an Orthodox Christian native of Ma'aloula, Syria who has been in the West for over 30 years. Unlike these people, Christians in Syria are genuinely the targets of systematic genocide. More than 5 million are missing and unaccounted for. Christians are more westernized and generally better educated than Muslims. Many, like my family, were educated in the West, speak the language and could actually contribute to our societies. Why are those who are accounted for not permitted to come to the West? As an aside, in Syria, most Muslim women do not wear headscarves. That is done only by the Fundamentalist minority who tend to hate the West. These folks will be a problem in the future.
Isn't supposed that Christians should love our neighbor? that we should not hate? this is not a matter of religion is a matter of humanity!
Their welcomed to Canada ❤️
The parents gave up their lives and their relationships to give their children better lives. They stuff their own anguish about missing home for their children. They are definitely to be commended and supported.
Welcome to Canada, wish you the best for all your family. You are at the right place in the world for your future, keep your faith in life and make your kid understand that this country is different than your mother land, but you have what's the most important, your freedom. Enjoy Canada, we are a tolerant and welcoming country. Integrate are society and assimilate to the fullest what's available to your family.
intergrate and assimilate yeah right .... are you one of the knobs at the airport with the WELCOME REFUGEES sign ?
If you do not have anything more intelligent to say, shut it up like the goof at FOX say, you know this stupid O'Rilley or something like it.
Joseph sideman
I know it feels good to be an apologist leftie. But when the crunch does eventually come.[ prob in Canada about 30 years time ] you will have the same treatment as the rest of us. You should not sell your country out. plenty of politicians to do that. really look hard between the lines.. also what is stupid o'rilley ? Fox , that multinational company run by the Australian tyrant Murdoch ?? ok what ever you say.
You see, I'm not a racist when everything goes well, do you understand this point ? The U.S. was created with immigration of Europeans and white folks and the same goes for Canada. I say yes to immigration, but with very strict rules and understanding of the host country. To much immigration is counterproductive and dangerous for are ways, freedom and culture. Immigration should come from a mix of different cultures and most preferably in small quantity of different influences. To avoid the ghetto phenomenon and make sure the kids of those migrant get assimilated by being mixed with are people in school and out of the house. For those refugee in dire condition, screening with lies detector should be mandatory for anyone older than 13 years of age. You see, the problem is that we're getting to lease and we do not make enough kids to sustain are race. So we pick the right one to maintain are growth while protecting are freedom and culture or we all disappear eventually. For those already here, if they get tempted by those religion fanatics, citizen or not, it's out of the country as persona non grata for ever. That's it, plain and simple. As for everything, to much is no good, moderation and equilibrium is the best way to go. Have a good time and clean all those corrupted politicians in D.C. They are ripping you off big time.
yeah, they will have the freedom to get on your welfare paid for by Canadian taxapayers, and the freedom to launch war in your country. Just wait 10 years and what happened in France will happen in Canada, pretty soon, you will realize you are living in a town where loud prayer broadcast in Arabic echoes loudly in your whole town, 5 times a day....There will be ghettos and no-go zone in Canada in the near future.
1 or 2 child is enough........& stop war... Make them peace
Karim S abusive knob !
Arina Arina
Not your problem.. he’s not begging they are trying to work and provide for the family. And soon each child will grow into something important and make a difference and mark my words!!
This is a great family
I so glad they have so much in Canada just giving to them for free
What r u talking about
Welcome to Canada
JOSEPH THISTLE come to the uk and get even more!!
@@louisabailey1800 why
Only in the begging then they are also going to contribute to Canada
The Americas always welcome everybody, from Canada to Argentina,
If they have 3 more kids then they will have a whole football team.
😂
I saw their “a year later in Canada “ too,I’m happy for them !!!!!!
I know that family we came around the same time they came to Canada and we lived in the same city
Great canada with big & warm heart.
To gave a better life of thr siblings. God Bless CANADA, from Queen City of the South CEBU CITY Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Excellent video - this is exactly what's needed to demystify who these new Canadians are. Thank you Adrian and the CBC. Please keep these coming :)
Aww, bless ❤️
I love this family
Thank You ...CAnada
Yes thanks God bless Canada
Really I'm very happy for them ❤
I've never been a refugee but I moved all over the world as a child and had a nervous breakdown at 15. Moving to a new culture is hard enough as an adult but for children is can leave them with life-long emotional problems.
remarkable.
Stay strong family, god has directed you to be here.
How can anyone be against bringing people like this here. This man is obviously a hard worker. Canada didnt choose them because they were poor. They choose them because they would benefit our country. These guys will be hard workers and study hard in Canada. Things we take for granted, they will cherish. It's eyeopening to me. We really do have it good here. It's hard to see it. But imagine being in their shoes.
i'm against it. on every level.
xUnleadedx me too,we need to be thankful for what we got
It's amazing what people do to keep their kids safe
I bet now they all can speak english! God bless Khalil and Houda and their family back in Syria.
This family cool hard working
I hope they do well, I like the kid called yamama, that was the only reason I was not in tears about their story

@̐ Why are you uneducated about the fact that other countries take refugees?. And since when has Canada been exclusively white? I believe that there were groups here long before whites were.
Beautiful ........❤️
Would anyone not do what this man is trying to do for his family? Would anyone stay and not move?
This is why I'm not upset by his actions because I would do the same.
That's not the appropriate question in this instance. Of course any parent would try to do what he is doing. Duh! The pertinent question is whether it's in the best interest of Canadians and Canada to let these people in. They were safe in Jordan, so letting them in really wasn't done for humanitarian reasons. Now, they will be a burden on the taxpayers for who knows how long and if they get jobs, they may be taking them from a deserving Canadian. Is it really worth it just for the liberal government to feel like it's doing good? I wonder.As an aside, I'm an Orthodox Christian who was born in Ma'aloula, Syria and is now a US citizen, having lived here since I was a freshman at Stanford in the early 1980s. I bear no ill will toward these people. I simply thing western countries should put the interest of their own people first when it comes to admitting immigrants who aren't at risk in their current locations.
Oh it appropriate and the fact that you would do the same proves how appropriate it is.
As for the rest of it that's for the government to decide. I'm just defending the man's actions.
+Jeffrey Husk no, that I and everyone else might want to do it doesn't mean that it should happen. 99% of the Third World wants to immigrate to the West. Do you not see the problem with letting them do so simply because they want to? The West needs to start placing its own people first and not the desires of people from the outside. A lot of Romans thought like you about the Barbarians and, I assume, you are aware of how that ended.
+NIcholas Bilski I couldn't agree more. I clicked on this video because I was confused why anyone would "flee" from Jordan. That family is clearly looking to provide a better future for their children, which is obviously fair enough, but in the current situation, I feel like the west should only take in refugees (who are actually in danger) temporarily or only let the ones stay who really can't go back even when things even out again. Btw, one side of my family is also (Greek) orthodox Christian and they fled from Syria to Turkey which is still far from ideal (especially at that time) but this way my father had the opportunity to go to Germany to study.
+Theo A cool. I'm Antiochian Orthodox. As you can probably tell, my alias is not my real name. It's a compound of the names of our crazy neighbors on either side of our house in SF. My real name is obviously Middle Eastern Christian. Thanks for the comment and good luck to you.
Too bad the American Indians in Canada can not be treated this well.
This family is in Canada now
I feel this family would have been happier moving to Italy or Greece. Similar landscape, lots of olive trees, the father would definitely find work and peace there. Canada is a bit too far and a bit too cold and a bit too different culturally. No wonder they struggle so much to settle in.
They go where they can they are refugees not moving for economic reasons can’t be picky
The food (at least the chicken and pita breads) look appetizing.
MashAllah how inspirational and touching May Allah (swt) bless this family with peace and happiness in this world but especially in the here after ⚘
God bless Canada forever and ever and ever ❤❤❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
I like it when the loudspeaker says "Allah akbar" even though I am Catholic.
You are lucky to have good people like these refugees. I wish the U.S.A. would have the intelligence to do the right thing to welcome ethical, hard-working immigrants like these. After all, that's who we traditional through history have been. It's too bad that some fear-mongers are controlling our country!
Comin to my home town! (: I'm not a huge supporter of our prime ministers plans for this country but I am happy that families like these guys and many more like it are coming in and getting a new chance.
Seems like the poorest of each the ones populating the country
Come to Belize
I just love Canada
+Annie theMese ikr I have no idea why people want to deport them. Like look we haven't had any conflicts so far and Canada is doing a good job by only bringing families in.
A family of 10 must be given quite generous welfare benefits. Each of the 8 children is another monthly check.

How I hope you will help me. I and my family have 3 children and I am in Turkey. I do not have any rights and I mean many to live here.
Welcome to Canada, Dont blow shit up now
Big thank you too Canada because help refugees people...mostly Children and women tq God bless too Canada people kindness help other people life big Salute🇨🇦🤝🇲🇾❤❤❤❤❤🕊🕊🕊
The U.S should learn from Canada. There's good people in this world who need a chance. Just like many of these Senators and Presidents we all where ONCE immigrants or where given birth by immigrants.
Kudos to the Vancouver man who said no to more refugees and made a point about it. He is not alone.
CBC trying to force this refugee thing down our throats as if it's our responsibility.
+✘52 percent✘ Is that your test scores or perhaps your IQ ??? Just asking with all respect!
Are you stupid? The majority of "refugees" are not refugees, they have been living peacefully in cities in Lebanon and Jordan for the past few years - according to CBAS boss.
+✘52 percent✘ I guess you know nothing about the living conditions in the camps in those countries but it's anything but desirable. no schools, literally a shack to live in with no privacy or hope or chance for the future. their kids are fucked there
It's not me who's claiming this, it's a VP at the Canadian border services agency.
+Annie theMese Thanks for saying what so very many of us feel and know to be true....we as Canadian born were and are so very lucky! Our obligation now is to help others, for as you point out this could be us. We I believe are also under obligation to defend the refugees from some who would attack these rather vulnerable people on sites such as this...thanks for doing your bit.
It would have been better if they stayed in jordan until the war was over to go back to their homeland. Being muslim and speaking arabic it was easier to adapt in jordan than going to Canada where they have to adjust into different religion and language not to mention different culture.
War is never going to end I don’t think been over a decade now
I’m all for helping those in need and charity but when it comes at the cost of offering up and selling off our heritage, demographics and children future for” diversity and inclusion” which is everything but. I along with many many Canadians are tired of it.
Should have thought about that when destroying their countries with war.
Karim S no one destroyed your country your treatment of its citizens in the Arab uprising and its human rights abuses. Many were happy for the west intervention!
The Canadian govt. is helping them. It won't be free. They will pay back

@@indianachick6675 they are doing well
But to be honest, their refugee life in Jordan appeared not that bad, just a regular arabian family. They got really lucky of being accepted as refugees in Canada, despite the cold.
No it wasn’t
Make love and peace not war
My hope would be that the wealthy Islamic countries would welcome and help get them on their feet. I wish birth control was more utilized in this faith. I feel it is socially irresponsible to have a family that must rely on generous welfare states to support such large families. I am a first generation American and my parents only wanted to assimilate into American life. They found work immediately and adopted the language, fashion, would not speak to us children in their native tongue. They never applied nor received any welfare or unemployment. In some of the smaller affluent Western social democracies, the citizens are becoming the minority and their culture is being transformed. Further, my European friends have complained that crime, drug use, the double standard of Islamic men and women, and black marketing seems to originate in many of the refugee housing. Some have been in country for nearly 5 years and are unemployed and do not speak the language of their new homes. I am all for helping those affected by famine, war, and poverty, but it must have a term limit on all handouts.
Wealthy Muslim countries we all wish that especially people in those countries but they are governed by dictators so stop repeating
Syria and its Troubles are made by Syrian People. How are Syrian people good for our people? What about our Children? What about our wellbeing?
Bashar Assad is the creminal and the main reason of the Syrians suffering.
why dont israel and saudi arabia take in some of the refugees!
John11121 ,
I just want to share my thoughts and opinions with you. Israel is a Jewish state and they actually take some people from other countries. Except, Israel is not a big place to bring that many refugees. On the hand, Saudi Arabia is much bigger country. Matter of facts, there are many tents somewhere in the desert empty. Supposed to be for the refugees. You know why? Because they are rich and lazy. They would rather have pay the slaves to serve for them.
Saudi do take care of lot of refugees, I don't think Muslim refugees will go to Isreal knowing what they are doing to Palestinian people!
Saudi Arabia is already helping yemen and Syria in war and I’m Yemeni
And we don’t have the best relationship with Israel so no
Because eventually what is happening in Syria will happen in Saudi Arabia not to mention Israel. These people cannot seem to get on together and it's all caused by religion. Saudi Arabia said they won't take refugees because they don't want terrorism.
There's so many families in America that don't even get help like this even though I wish them well and God bless all the poor I just don't understand why there's Americans living on the streets Why!!!
My friend works helping the homeless a lot don’t take what’s provided and they spend any money they get on drugs so what can u do
What's Ironic, it's Canadian's, Americans, or Europeans that's helping them. Where are Muslims and rich Islamic nations?
Most are in neighbouring countries like Turkey and Jordan, so clearly you are uninformed. Also, Canada chose them out of many to come here. They did not force their way in. They were invited, and they are very welcome to be here.
@̐ Why are you calling them "older brothers"? Islam came after and is largely based on Christianity.
The country who started the Iraq war has not taken in refugees. Americans are apathetic to the suffering of those in war torn countries because we live charmed lives. We always need a bigger, newer house, new car, lots and lots of food while others have nothing. The apathy of politicians of homeless refugees is unbelievable. Canada, Sweden , Jordan, Germany, Greece and Lebanon have kind leaders. Gladly there are nice people in kind countries who take in the downtrodden. This family is in a wonderful country Canada.
Lora Scelsi they didn’t start any war in Syria !!! The
I mean their daughter doesn't like wearing the scarf she's always saying that in the videos why can't she live like an American what is the challenge like I said if there was a choice do not wear the scarfs and all the black and be covered up would you do that or would you return that's all I would like to know I wouldn't understand more of it
They aren't going to America dumbass. Watch the video. She never said she didn't want to wear it. You just aren't tolerant of her beliefs.
Oldest child is 19. Are you kidding me!!!!
Why ?

Very telling that these people have to go all the way to Canada, instead of another Middle Eastern country. That show the mindset of the Middle East. Be very afraid, Canada.

@@moon-uh5kd And why not? Standard of living not up to par?
awwww want to live in Canada with my children and husband,,,😘😘😘
What a huge problem..
Ppl need to stay where they live no matter what.. its just the way god made it.. they need to just stick it out instead of running and expecting other ppl to ruin their lives by trying to get along within these ppl.. they are very different than your average Canadian or American. The language barrier alone is absolutely brutal. Most of these ppl are not even educated at all. It's not good for them first the rest of us later. Bring these ppl home where they were born and belong says GOD!!!
Well, since mankind began in Africa, how about you go back where God intended you to live? Since the first man, migration has happened. When you stay put with bombs hitting homes in your neighborhood and children getting shot, raids and raping in the streets, then you will understand and be begging to go elsewhere too for a safe life for your kids, but til then at least respect their need to protect and educate their children and leave them be without condemning them for something you can't begin to understand.
I am amazed to see what ignorance can produce, like this opinion by the "well educated'' Candy Jones
I can tell by your comment your not educated at all lol it’s normal for people to move to different countries
Some of my family escaped after the polgroms in Ukraine before the Shoah. Some of my family perished in the Shoah. My family escaped and made a better life here in the USA. My Uncle Sol fooled the state of Maryland and worked in a factory under age. My family holds on to our Jewish faith, our traditions, and our language. My family speaks the Yiddish language. Our language keeps us connected to who we are as people. Keeping my language is very important to me! Some of my family from my Grandmother’s side of the family still speak the Russian and Yiddish language. They don’t speak English because they didn’t need to since they stayed at home taking care of the family.
I don't think olives grow in North America at least not Greek or middle east olives
I AM NOT RECEIVED DOCUMENT BUT I HAVE NOT CONFIRMATION TIKET AVION AND OTHER PAPEL TO FLY
Wait and watch Canada. You are on the way to Saria ruled nation. See Denmark, Swidden, France.
Grow up lol
"Swidden" is not afraid of "saria", partly because Prophet Muhammad himself did not even impose Islamic religious rules upon non-Muslims, and to do so is both illogical and un-islamic. Try to focus your anxieties on real and pressing problems, like poverty in Canada's far north, or the lack of resources for abused men and boys in Canada, or over-incarceration facing Canada's first Nations, or the risk of indigenous languages extinction, or the pollution of Canada's drinking water systems, or the lack of privacy in this era of tech or any number of other real problems.
I think Canada has a better interview process that’s the key

The best solution for genuine refugees is to keep them in their own environment, in Sanctuary countries that are not at war, and send help to those countries for them to take care of the refugees. They can stay safe, and close to their original countries and families
They can’t all be their countries there can’t absorb everyone
Canada welcomes Syrian Iraqi Palestinean refugees
