上周五,首批由政府负责运动的叙利亚难民抵达多伦多皮尔森国际机场,本国接收难民的工作全面由此展开。据移民部发言人陈南希(Nancy Chan)透露,政府在为难民提供旅店住宿等其它活动上花费6100万元至7700万元。在后续六年内,政府还将拨款6.78亿来帮助难民在加拿大定居。 加拿大 51网
除此之外,为难民提供伙食费也是一项巨大的开销。政府方面公布的文件显示,提供给难民的一日三餐将由饭店按清真的标准供应,伙食费分别为:早餐15元、午餐16元、晚餐30元。
在此之上,酒吧、出租电影、长途电话以及残疾人服务费用另算,也是由政府掏腰包。
目前,联邦政府正在多伦多和蒙特利尔机场紧急征集酒店房间,要求是在机场十公里的范围之内。投标者必须愿意在12月21日至2月29日每晚至少留出50个房间,每间房预计将安置最多4人,包括儿童。
从现在到明年3月,联邦政府将在这两个城市中,每天租用300个能够提供食宿的酒店单位,安顿约600名难民。
有的难民会于次日上午离开,有的则需要住超过两晚。 加拿大 51网
联邦政府对叙利亚难民的待遇“过好”,引起许多国民的关注和不满。有网友计算,每天的伙食费61元,就算是去较为昂贵的Metro超市买菜,也可以做到顿顿大鱼大肉,而且还有酒。
一位网友评论,70%的加拿大人每天的菜金都不到这个数字。多少人每天起早摸黑、灰头土脸地工作谋生,每年一大半工资交给政府,不得不省吃俭用地生活。可是,这些“拿着iPhone的”难民一落地就有身份,而且还有政府给他们的食宿买单。相比之下,加拿大人才像是真正的难民!
Government bill for welcoming Syrian refugees expected to near $80 million by March

The federal government wants to book a swath of hotel rooms in Toronto and Montreal to accommodate the influx of Syrian refugees expected over the next several weeks.
Between now and March, Ottawa needs 300 rooms daily in each of the two cities to house about 600 refugees per night, according to a notice posted Friday on a government procurement website. Suppliers will also be expected to provide meals.
The length of stays will vary: some will leave the next morning, others will need “two or more nights.”
“As we gear up for more arrivals, we want to ensure that we have the necessary hotel rooms to accommodate,” said Nancy Chan, a spokeswoman for Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
Chan said the government expects to spend $61 million to $77 million on overnight hotel accommodations and other activities to welcome refugees when they arrive.
The government has said it plans to invest $678 million over six years toward the resettlement and support of Syrian refugees.
On Monday, Immigration Minister John McCallum said Ottawa was “working very hard” to meet its pledge to resettle 25,000 refugees by the end of February, including 10,000 by the end of the year.
A Royal Jordanian Airlines flight with more than 200 people is expected to land in Toronto on Tuesday.
While most of the refugees who have arrived so far were privately sponsored by family members or community groups, more government-assisted refugees are expected in the coming days.
Privately sponsored refugees will typically continue travelling to their destination community either as soon as they land or the next day, Chan said. Government-assisted refugees could face delays getting to their destination communities.
“If their destination community is not yet ready to receive them, their onward travel could be delayed up to a few weeks. Until communities are ready to receive them, most will be accommodated in interim lodging sites,” Chan said.
Six sites have been identified at Canadian Forces Bases Kingston, Valcartier, Meaford, Petawawa, Trenton and Borden. If activated, the sites would be run jointly by the Red Cross and the federal government.
According to the government solicitation notice, the hotels that would provide immediate accommodation must be within 10 kilometres of the airports in Toronto and Montreal. Bidders must be willing to set aside at least 50 rooms per night from Dec. 21 to Feb. 29. Each room will be expected to house up to four people, including children.
Hotels will also be expected to provide up to three meals a day.
“Note that it would be beneficial to Canada, for the contractor to have halal meal options available for refugees,” according to the document.
It states the government will reimburse up to $15 per person for breakfast, $16 for lunch and $30 for dinner.
Hotels must ensure that access to mini-bars, movie rentals, long-distance calls and other pay services are disabled.
The government is also asking suppliers set aside rooms for two government representatives who will be onsite 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the duration of the bookings.
