Sounds like a reasonable plan.So it turns out that the 25,000 refugees by year's end no longer became feasible. Canada will now only admit 10,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the year. The total 25,000 will arrive by the end of February.

I really don't get why they doubled down on the whole "by the end of the year" thing when nobody was really pushing them on that and it was probably unachievable. But whatever, the numbers matter more than the date they get here.
