Trevor Sinker has kindly forwarded the links below related to the welcoming of Syrian refugees.

As you may be aware already, the Federal and Provincial governments have launched website with information on the Syrian Refugee resettlement initiative underway.

Here is the link to the federal site : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/refugees/welcome/index.asp

I just received an email from Charlene in which she says that they have heard from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) that they will be invited to an orientation meeting in Accra in the next week or two. This link http://www.iom.int/about-coa references this orientation meeting as the last step before settlement. Getting close!

Charlene and Chancella are having their medical exams today (and tomorrow) in Accra - please keep them in your prayers!

I have just heard from Charlene that she and Chancella will be going to Accra on November 11 to have their medical exam on November 12. I don't know how long it will take to get their results but I think things could develop quite quickly thereafter.
