Dec 31 (Reuters) - Canada will bring in more than 6,000
Syrian refugees by the end of 2015, missing its already delayed
target of accepting 10,000 by year-end, the Canadian government
said on Thursday.
Immigration Minister John McCallum said he expects Canada to
reach that goal by mid-January, and meet its larger target of
accepting 25,000 refugees by the end of February.
Canada's recently elected Liberal government campaigned on a
promise to accept 25,000 refugees by the end of 2015. But it
pushed the target date back after the deadly November attacks in
Paris, saying it would bring in 10,000 by year-end and the
remaining 15,000 by the end of February.
