I'm assuming you're willing to take any and all refugees without regard for anything and not doing any vetting and taking in any amount that wants to show up.
I think you've been reading to many of the fear mongering headlines from Trump. So, to put things into a little perspective here is what happens in Canada for refugees.
First, any refugee has to be certified as a refugee by the country they have landed in or by the UNHCR, not an easy process when there are hundreds of thousands of refugees lining up. Next, Canadian officials go to the country they are in to confirm your identity (also not easy for refugees who don't always have identity papers. No papers, the process stops). Next, officials from Canada interview you and the entire family. Next is a security screening with Interpol and to check for any criminal activity. Then comes a medical screening for you and the family.
A refugee family of 4 will need $27,000 to enter. Then, they have to find a sponsor and the sponsor has to complete a questionnaire of 150 questions. If the sponsor tells a lie, the process stops.
The immigration process for refugees takes on average 18 months. The process is harder in the U.S because all refugees are screened by the various intelligence agencies.
Since 1975, not 1 American has been killed in the U.S by a refugee coming from one of the 7 countries with the ban.
So to answer your question, Canada would be more than happy to take the refugees that were approved to come to the U.S because those people have been screened very carefully.
You guys will let people come in with a tourist visa with minimal review. You can keep them, we will take the refugees.
