Ibrahim Tonbari struggled off Air Canada Flight 8867 in Windsor, Ont., Monday
with his wife, Zaineb, and four children under the age of seven.
He shuddered in the cold, but told CBC News in Windsor that the first thing he thought of
was a better future for his children.

The Canadians has contracted the International Organization of Migration to handle logistics and country exits.
Each gets a blue bag, stenciled IOM, and inside is the coveted document :

— one each for Ibrahim, his wife and four kids. :-* :-*
