About 45,000 privately sponsored refugees backlogged

Syrian refugees wait at the border near Royashed, Jordan, in 2016. Canada has a backlog of up to 45,000 privately-sponsored refugees waiting to gain entry.

As they wait to learn about 2018 quotas, sponsoring agencies are set to welcome 18,000 refugees this year, including many who have waited for years to finally start a new life in Canada.
