The National Post quoted Dan Hiebert, a UBC geography professor, for an article about language class waiting lists for refugees in Canada.
Refugees must learn English or French for most jobs in Canada.
“The federal government can’t just snap their fingers and have twice as many classrooms or instructors,” Hiebert said. He also said he is concerned about reports that money set aside to resettle Syrians is still unspent.
The story also appeared in the Ottawa Citizen, Montreal Gazette, Vancouver Sun and Regina Leader-Post.
