The desire to return to the Middle East has also been expressed by refugees in other countries, such as Uruguay and Germany.

The report came several days after an op-ed in the Toronto Sun called for the Canadian government to let private citizens help refugees more. 

“For political reasons, the Trudeau government refuses to utilize the private refugee program to its full capacity. The bulk of Syrian refugees will be admitted through the government-sponsored program. Less than one-third will be privately sponsored,” wrote Candice Malcolm. 

“Trudeau needs to break free from his government-knows-best mindset and look at the evidence in front of him. His government has done enough damage already. It’s time for them to let everyday Canadians fix this mess through increased private refugee sponsorship.”
