Newcomer Center of Peel's own client accepted into Canada from war torn Syria, says he's "really, really, really, happy"

(Peter Power for The Globe and Mail)

The Globe and Mail published an article on September 4 outlining the story of a Syrian family finally being accepted into Canada.

   Maher and his family of eight waited 11 years before their refugee application was accepted and they were welcome to come into Canada. The reason for this prolonged time to get their application accepted was due to the fact that most of the countries they have applied to were not ready to receive any new refugees.

  It is undeniable that Syrians, much like many refugees around the world today, are suffering a great deal, Maher and his family are just one example of the many families suffering as a result of war. Newcomer Center of Peel is proud to be able to be part of this success story and will remain dedicated to providing unique services to its clients.
