If they lost everything they clearly can't bring their whole family over. So they do the next best thing. They make sure their family is in the safest part of the country possible, send the older males who are able to work jobs, then they send money, ALL THEIR MONEY, to their families to have them come out and reunite in their new home. That's pretty much exactly how my family did it and my family has prospered because of it--All hard working, all made respectable livings.

I know being canadian you have been programmed to think anyone who gets aid is a completely lazy asshole who is just a leech on society. but the bottom line is this country was built on it's open immigration policies. I may agree that there are limits to how many we can let in without causing cultural chaos, but it is just ignorant to assume these people, who are in obvious need, are any different than our immigrants of the past.
