Canada shows the world it welcomes Syrian refugees

163 Syrian refugees arrived in Canada recently to a warm welcome from newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as they touched down in Toronto.

The public welcoming is all part of a pledge from the Canadian government in power to resettle 25,000 Syrians over the next 3 months in Canada.
