They are being promised a European future, which in some cases is much brighter amid the current economical crisis. Also, most of refugees in Turkey and Lebanon, are rich well established businessmen. Coming to Canada means to them a huge loss of the purchase power of their fiscal assets.

No surprise here: Canada a turnoff for some refugees

Like they had cooked a three-course dinner and vacuumed the house, only to learn that friends (read refugees) would rather go out for pizza?

Canada thinks they’re a hot date, but they really need to upgrade their Tinder profile.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

"Even in Britain, Canada has become a turnoff: We are currently the fourth-most-popular country for British emigration, far behind Australia (which receives twice as many people), the United States and Spain. In fact, it’s a net loss: During the past decade, an average of 5,200 British emigrants came here each year, while 8,500 moved the other way. Worse, the British Post Office surveyed British emigrants, and the happiest were those in France, Spain, the United States, Australia and Thailand – Canada didn’t make the list." http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/no-surprise-here-canada-a-turnoff-for-some-refugees/article27600848/
