McCallum told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp he was responding to complaints from Canadian groups who want to sponsor Syrian refugees but did not have their applications processed quickly enough to be among the government’s initial target of 25,000.
“We are doing everything we can to accommodate the very welcomed desire on the part of Canadians to sponsor refugees,” McCallum said in a phone interview with CBC News from Berlin, where he is meeting with the German interior minister.
The Liberal government won election in October 2015 pledging to bring in more Syrian refugees more quickly than the previous Conservative government. Private groups including church, family and community organizations had lined up to sponsor Syrian families.

Baby Trudeau is an idiot's idiot.
This is the moron who says, "If you kill your enemies, they win".
Could Canada be filling up with Syrians as a way to deny asylum approvals from the US after Trump's election?
Allahu Akbar, eh.
Seems like Walker's idea to build a wall separating us from America's hat was a sound idea after all. Bad timing, but there you go...
Leftists are God's perfect idiots. They really are. Allah Snackbar!!!
Ah Canada, it will remind them of home.
There goes the hockey teams.
Mexico and Central America should have a program in place to resettle Syrian refugees. I'm not kidding. They could probably use with a few displaced dentists and accountants, and none of the refugees grew up hating Hispanics. Win wn for everyone except the odd rape victim.
Canada isn't a country its a geographical expression. the USA is almost the same.
Canadian groups who want to sponsor Syrian refugees...
Private groups including church, family and community organizations had lined up to sponsor Syrian families.
If these "private groups" are anything like "private" refugee-resettlement organizations in the U.S., they are lining up to oh-so-charitably sponsor refugees with other peoples' money, not their own.
