PM Justin Trudeau has told the refugee sponsors in Canada who are frustrated by a lack of communication that the federal government must "make significant improvements" to a system that can be trying for both bureaucrats and immigrants.

While the government needs to ensure that it's supporting refugees and their sponsors, it also needs to be able to say it has covered all bases on the national security front.

The government needs to focus on "reassuring Canadians that on the level of security, on integration, on all those sorts of things, we have the parameters in place to be able to say, and not just to Canadians so much but to our neighbours to the south, 'No, there's no increased risk that we've brought over all these wonderful new people.'"
