Salma Zahid at the Citizenship and Immigration Committee

Thank you, Chair.

Thanks a lot for coming today and providing your important input.

I would first like to thank the International Organization for Migration for all its work supporting Canada's program to resettle Syrian refugees as well as the vulnerable survivors of Daesh.

Could you speak to the challenges that often occur obtaining exit permits and other necessary travel documents to allow refugees to leave the country, and to challenges around the transportation of refugees and other protected persons to Canada?
