ms. dawson: sure.he most important thing to know is this is a low-risk group of refugees coming to canada. it is something like 60% women, 20% children -- folks that have been in a refugee camp for a long time, and there is a great deal of pre-vetting that goes on to begin with. what has to happen is within the government system, they are first vetted by the u.n. high commission for refugees, and they come up with a short list. in the private system, a similar shortlist takes place. once they are short-listed, canadian immigration officials get involved, and there is a lot of vetting, communications, checking, security, health, medical records -- all of the canadian checks are checked against american lists. it is an automatic process, dottedll of the i's are and the t's are crossed that it is all done before they leave wherever they happen to be. luiza: how are they finding homes? ms. dawson: there is a public and private program. with the public program, the government assists them with finding homes
