CANADA’S REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT PROGRAM: A CASE STUDY OF SYRIAN REFUGEE CRISIS 2015
Abstract
The aims of this research is to identify the existence of socio-cultural as well
as the political influence towards the decision making process of Canadian
foreign policy (which is manifested in its refugee resettlement program) on
the issue of Syrian refugee’s resettlement in the aftermath of Syrian civil
war. Compared with other western countries which tend to be more
protective in their immigration policies, Canada has been doing all the
opposite. A very progressive approach has been showcased as a form of
response towards the discussed issue. In explaining the research, the author
utilizes the approach from constructivism theory and decision making
process as a tool of analysis.
