Teachers in New Brunswick were overwhelmed by the sudden influx of Syrian refugee students earlier this year leading to chaos in some classrooms, according to a report.<\/p>\n

\"Teachers<\/p>\n

Schools were not prepared for new students who hadn\u2019t been educated regularly for years, did not speak English and came from war-torn areas of the Middle East.<\/p>\n

The result was a whirlwind of poor behaviour, bullying and problems surrounding gender roles as teachers were left to deal with a difficult adjustment phase often without the help of translators.<\/p>\n

Refugees in numbers<\/h3>\n

28,755<\/strong>Syrians admitted to Canada since Liberals came to power in November<\/p>\n

30,000<\/strong>more refugees set to arrive in 2016<\/p>\n

11,000<\/strong>refugees privately sponsored by Canadians<\/p>\n

School staff said they had no idea how many students would be arriving meaning preparation was impossible and all teachers could do was react to the situation as it developed.<\/p>\n

Only when extra teachers were added to help cope was the situation brought under control. Even more staff are expected to be added in the fall.<\/p>\n

The problems arose as Justin Trudeau\u2019s Liberal government delivered on its campaign promise to welcome 25,000 Syrian refugees across Canada.<\/p>\n

Officials admitted there were hiccups during the push to bring in so many immigrants in such a short time, but declared the operation a success.<\/p>\n

Canada received the highest number of immigrants for at least 45 years<\/a>\u00a0in the first three months of 2016, according to the latest figures.<\/p>\n

A Statistics Canada report shows 86,216 new immigrants entered the country between January 1 and April 1. The figure was driven by Syrians, with a current total of 28,755 welcomed into the country.<\/p>\n

Canada has been singled out as an example to the world following some global political surprises over the last few months.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump is set to be the Republican nominee for president of the United States, while Britain voted to leave the European Union in a recent referendum. Both campaigns were run with a strong anti-immigration message.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Canadian society continues to foster a positive approach towards immigration.<\/p>\n

Immigration Minister John McCallum has had to deal with complaints<\/a>\u00a0because he has too many Canadians lining up to sponsor and not enough refugees.<\/p>\n
